My system hanged while I 'emerge -u world'. After I restarted the system I found there's some errors related to python while I 'emerge -c world' again. So I 'emerge -C python' it and tried to reinstall.

However, I figured I can't run emerge without python..... :cry:

What should I do to fix this? Your help is greatly appreciated.
