How to install python 3.* on Gentoo without compiling by hand?

Are there any ebuild or overlay for this?

UPDATE: now it's absolutely possible without any hacks

I love that server fault has become the go to place for these questions. Far easier than asking on 4 different linux forums. – sparks Jul 13 '09 at 20:35
@sparks god forbid we go to distro ML/Forum and ask the people that actually know... – Ophidian Aug 16 '09 at 13:53

Apparently in python-experimental, according to http://bugs.gentoo.org/250186

Python 3.1 is now available on Gentoo in the unstable category.

I'd detoured to Arch for a while, and didn't see that Gentoo had an upgrade. hug Guessing that I still need 2.* for Portage, though. – koenigdmj Aug 16 '09 at 15:58

Yes, and most other things. In fact, installing 3.1 won't overwrite /usr/bin/python with the new version yet since so many things still need 2.X logic. – ctennis Aug 16 '09 at 17:06
