This is sort of INVALID. Read a very old ChangeLog entry in /usr/portage/dev-lang/python.
That ChangeLog is 77k in size and does not contain the text 'PyUnicodeUCS2', 'symbol', or 'unresolved' ... so you'll need to be a bit more specific than "Read a very old ChangeLog entry in /usr/portage/dev-lang/python" Additionally, this is certainly not INVALID as simple emerging pygtk results in a non-functional pygtk... so obviously SOMETHING is wrong.
From what I've learned through google about this, the problem is that pygtk is being built assuming a different internal representation for unicode characters than the interpreter.
Yeah... /usr/lib/libpython.so has PyUnicodeUCS4_DecodeUTF8 rather than UCS2
Read at: python-2.3.2-r2 (22 Nov 2003) You must have set it to ucs2 at some point, but lately that flag got renamed AND usemasked.
You switched "wide-unicode" (or previously "ucs2") USE flag without reinstallation of Python modules.
I did not switch my USE flags. More accurately, wide-unicode was forced on in the base profile which broke ABI with my existing python modules when I updated python...
You shouldn't have enabled "ucs2" USE flag. If you still want to use short Unicode implementation, than you should disable "wide-unicode" USE flag.
> You shouldn't have enabled "ucs2" USE flag. Why do you say that? I needed to maintain ABI compatibility, so I set ucs2 back in 2003. It's been 6 years since then, so I forgot about that issue until just now. > If you still want to use short > Unicode implementation, than you should disable "wide-unicode" USE flag. Yeah, but it's non-trivial for most users since it requires users to override the profile... but I guess that's fine since there are probably few people using that flag anyways since it should only be on old machines like mine.

This flag can be unforced in /etc/portage/profile/package.use.force. > but I guess that's fine since there are probably few people using that flag > anyways since it should only be on old machines like mine. This flag is forced so that users don't accidentally disable it without knowing consequences.
since when was this flag - wide-unicode - changed (or activated) anyway ? last time I updated python-2.6 was back in November 10th 2009 and this problem wasn't there yet I updated python-2.6 yesterday and it broke avant-window-navigator
