I upgraded these systems right after python 2.5 went stable, complete
with python-updater. Looking around confirms this as `eselect python
list` shows only python 2.5, there is no python2.4 directory on my
system anywhere, and /usr/bin/python and /usr/bin/python2 both point to
/usr/bin/python2.5. I'm starting a run of `python-updater -o 2.5` to
cause all python-touching packages to re-merge, though I doubt that will
fix anything.
