Hi Holly,
Safe? If you use the patch -b option it will automatically make a backup called
portage.py.orig in case you want to reverse the changes.
cd /usr/lib/portage/pym
patch -b -p0 < /tmp/revdep-rebuild-portage.py.patch
python -c "import compileall; compileall.compile_dir('`pwd`')"
python -O -c "import compileall; compileall.compile_dir('`pwd`')"
