I you use portage-2.2, the blocker is automatically unmerged. Unmerging gnome-python and then emerge -av1 gnome-python should fix this for you otherwise.
(In reply to comment #1) > I you use portage-2.2, the blocker is automatically unmerged. Unmerging > gnome-python and then emerge -av1 gnome-python should fix this for you > otherwise. Umm: emerge --version Portage 2.2_rc8 (default/linux/amd64/2008.0, gcc-4.3.1, glibc-2.8_p20080602-r0, 2.6.26-gentoo-r1 x86_64 The blocker won't be automagically unmerged during emerge --u(p) --deep world, even with portage 2.2. Oh well, umerging and emerge -av1 gnome-python seems to work, though.
Something's wrong on your box... it went just fine on my box just a couple of hours ago. Maybe a portage bug? I guess it's too late to tell now :)
The blockers were automatically handled for me as well with portage-2.2_rc8, for the record. No manual intervention or trouble at all.
