For whatever reason, sources for dev-python/sip-4.8.2 are missing from home page and mirrors. This is a serious problem, since important often-used things depend on it. Locally I worked around it by adding 4.9 version. The ebuild is attached.. (Note: it drops the python-3.patch, since it's already in the source)
Created attachment 206285 [details] sip-4.9 ebuild
Sources are on mirrors. I guess you use a broken mirror or something Eternity ~ # emerge -f =dev-python/sip-4.8.2 Calculating dependencies ... done! >>> Fetching (1 of 1) dev-python/sip-4.8.2 >>> Downloading 'ftp://files.gentoo.gr/distfiles/sip-4.8.2.tar.gz' --2009-10-07 10:59:53-- ftp://files.gentoo.gr/distfiles/sip-4.8.2.tar.gz => `/usr/portage/distfiles/sip-4.8.2.tar.gz' Resolving files.gentoo.gr... 62.38.102.66 Connecting to files.gentoo.gr|62.38.102.66|:21... connected.

As far as sip-4.9 is concerned, we've bumped it in qting-edge overlay but it breaks pykde4-4.3.1 compilation (haven't tried with 4.3.2 yet), so I doubt it'll be moved to the tree soon.
Please try another mirror and re-open this bug if you still have problems Thanks

I've editted the 4.8.2 ebuilds to point directly to the gentoo mirrors.
