The stable version of python in the prefix tree is 3.3.0, which has been removed from the regular tree, so tarballs for the python-patches are no longer on any mirror. Therefore the fetch phase fails and the whole bootstrapping comes to a full stop. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run bootstrap-prefix.sh 2. wait till it tries to rebuild python 3. boom Actual Results: emerge throws an error about being unable to fetch the patches tarball Expected Results: working bootstrap process
python in x86 is 2.7.5, while that in prefix is 2.7.4. python-3 is drawn in by python-r1.eclass if we don't add PYTHON_TARGETS or PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET during bootstrap[1]. 1. http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/Python/python-r1/user-guide.xml
can you try latest_tree please?
that is, export LATEST_TREE_YES=1 in your environment, and restart the bootstrap process
Somebody provided me with an appropriate tarball of the 3.3.0 patches, so I am already past that bug. And since I am on an SSD, I do not want to nuke the Gentoo dir again. But I will try at home on my Desktop Mac. I am hanging on another bug on the desktop now. Will open another report.
2.7.5 is in the making

I did try latest tree and it worked almost flawless: the dreaded findutils bug was still present (#469206). So, python from latest tree is fine.
thanks!
python 2.7.5 and 3.2.0 as well as 3.3.2 are in the repo and working nowadays
