Okay so I found the problem. When setuptools was installed for some reason I only had python-3.2 so it didn't build modules for 2.7. I have now rebuilt setuptools and it works. However I was under the impression that 2.7 was still the required version for portage so I'm not sure how this happened.
It isn't required for portage, and current stage3 tarballs only include python-3, so you will need to run python-updater when python-2.x gets pulled in as a dep for the first time
