Dunno about the python-3.2 thing. Are you set to use 3.2 by default?
(How aggressive of you!) ;-) I'm set to use 2.7 as default which I
think is the overall recommendation of dummies like me:

c2stable ~ # eselect python list
Available Python interpreters:
  [1]   python2.7 *
  [2]   python3.2
c2stable ~ #

The script has been around awhile and updated now and again. Possibly
it's just not tested with python-3.2?

Anyway, the folks on the mdadm RAID list often ask people who had a
RAID completely fail if they had the info this script provides taken
from prior to the crash so I do it for all my machines and then keep
the output in my GMail account for safety.

HTH,
Mark
