Python 3.2.2 has been pushed to sabayon-limbo repository where it's
going to stay for quite long time (!!).

There are several pitfalls and issues with this version:

1) it's crap and breaks the whole world
2) did I mention crap?
3) many modules are not going to work
4) many packages (at least 100 from my first scripted checks) might
pull python3 in due to libertarian *DEPENDs
5) Python 3.2.x has a ridiculous bug that prevents Entropy from being
able to unpack packages properly (DO NOT use Entropy with Python3,
actually, entropy itself has python2 in the shebang for a reason). And
yeah, I reported it upstream several months ago.
6) A great deal of Entropy code is untested with Python 3. I am not
planning to support Python3 anytime soon (what they did with Python is
10 times worse than GNOME2 -> GNOME3, but only developers do see it).
Being it a dynamically typed language, it's kinda hard to port code to
Py3 even with all the unit tests you could ever think of in place (and
even with the 2to3 utility).
7) Stop annoying me with "OMG Python3 is cool why don't you add it to
Entropy"-like advices XD

Have fun with breakages!
