i went to http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/gentoo-alt/prefix/bootstrap-macos.xml and downloaded the bootstrap script. Did all the steps in 1.3 but on the last step it didn't work because bootstrap installs python 2.6 and portage needs 2.7.

please edit the bootstrap_python function and set PV to 2.7.2, and see if that gets through on your side
didn't work so good.. i get this error with python (will attach the whole output): Traceback (most recent call last): File "./setup.py", line 1921, in <module> main() File "./setup.py", line 1915, in main 'Lib/smtpd.py'] File "/Users/johan/Gentoo/tmp/var/tmp/python-2.7.2/Python-2.7.2/Lib/distutils/core.py", line 152, in setup dist.run_commands() File "/Users/johan/Gentoo/tmp/var/tmp/python-2.7.2/Python-2.7.2/Lib/distutils/dist.py", line 953, in run_commands self.run_command(cmd) File "/Users/johan/Gentoo/tmp/var/tmp/python-2.7.2/Python-2.7.2/Lib/distutils/dist.py", line 972, in run_command cmd_obj.run() File "/Users/johan/Gentoo/tmp/var/tmp/python-2.7.2/Python-2.7.2/Lib/distutils/command/build.py", line 127, in run self.run_command(cmd_name) File "/Users/johan/Gentoo/tmp/var/tmp/python-2.7.2/Python-2.7.2/Lib/distutils/cmd.py", line 326, in run_command self.distribution.run_command(command) File "/Users/johan/Gentoo/tmp/var/tmp/python-2.7.2/Python-2.7.2/Lib/distutils/dist.py", line 972, in run_command cmd_obj.run() File "/Users/johan/Gentoo/tmp/var/tmp/python-2.7.2/Python-2.7.2/Lib/distutils/command/build_ext.py", line 340, in run self.build_extensions() File "./setup.py", line 250, in build_extensions build_ext.build_extensions(self) File "/Users/johan/Gentoo/tmp/var/tmp/python-2.7.2/Python-2.7.2/Lib/distutils/command/build_ext.py", line 449, in build_extensions self.build_extension(ext) File "./setup.py", line 286, in build_extension if not self.configure_ctypes(ext): File "./setup.py", line 1726, in configure_ctypes exec f in fficonfig File "build/temp.macosx-10.4-x86_64-2.7/libffi/fficonfig.py", line 33, in <module> ffi_sources += ffi_platforms['X86_DARWIN'] KeyError: 'X86_DARWIN' make: *** [sharedmods] Error 1 spaam:~ johan$

oh joy, the same as I have on ppc-macos. *sigh*
*** Bug 376945 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
So, the path to fix this is (as I see it): 1) Introduce a "bootstrap portage" that just needs py-2.6 since 2.7 won't build reliably. Does it build later though for those that can't build it early? 2) Make portage depend on py-2.6 (not likely, as gx86 (or upstream) has this depend too)
py-2.6 is just a lost case. I'm trying hard to get py-2.7.2 compiling.
plain (unpatched) python compiles out of the box on Darwin, for a change
redownload bootstrap-prefix.sh. It should now bootstrap python-2.7.2
it works now :) good job fabian :)
