After upgrading world containing a new version of python (2.6), I was unable to emerge dev-python/docutils-0.5 Here is the paste of the error : >>> Emerging (1 of 1) dev-python/docutils-0.5 * docutils-0.5.tar.gz RMD160 SHA1 SHA256 size ;-) ...

In such cases first question is always: did you run python-updater already ? See also the output of (in python): import sys import os import glob from distutils.core import setup from distutils.command.build_py import build_py from distutils.command.install_data import install_data
I didn't run python-updater, that was my mistake... After running it, everything went fine. Sorry for the noise.
