Would you mind attaching build log ? So, you know, somebody could get a look at the real error.
Reinstall expat and attach build log.

I attached the build.log file. How do I install expat? eix -s / -S expat shows nothing.
Post the output of: emerge -ptv dev-libs/expat

Does the original problem still occur?
Still the same problem with emerge python
Comparing with my own build log, my first guess would be: '-I/usr/local/include', that is 'it's time for a purge'. Check whole /usr/local.
Thanks! I renamed /usr/local and python installed. Is the /usr/local issue still considered to be a bug in the python build? I don't know what file was in /usr/local that would have been causing the problem.
