xen-tools fails to compile when the default python interpreter is set to python 3.1. Temporarily selecting a 2.x version allows xen-tools to compile but when the default is returned to 3.1 xen-tools is picked up by python-updater and fails to compile in the same way. Confirmed on two similarly configured servers. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge xen-tools Actual Results: Calculating dependencies... done!

That is all the relevant information. If you have something specific in mind please name it. That's not a paste site, that's my blog - where I pasted exactly what you'll find in my first post, less the emerge --info. I'm sure if you read it you'll find I've spared you nothing :)
seems this can be resolved by incorporating an explicit setting to python-2.7 in the setup or configure phase in the ebuild. if ! [ eselect python list | grep "python2.7 *"] ; then \ eselect python set python2.7 fi or so..
The initial description for this is quite adequate. By nature of the sandbox, the ebuild can't be adjusted to fix a system state. At best the ebuild could die with an elog message informing user to manually eselect python-2.7.
