Please take this to the list. Python is an ugly beast, but some have
very recently slaughtered it.

I have now succeded to bootstrap Prefix Portage on SUSE 10. Thanks all who helped out!

To be precise, the machine is a SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop, version 10, patchlevel
1, with some undocumented modifications that probably have no significance for the
prefix exercise. This kind of machine is mass deployed as a general purpose platform
where I work and users (like me) don't have root access.

Right now there seems to be two workarounds needed for the SUSE 10 bootstrapping: see
reports 203363 and 203720 at <http://bugs.gentoo.org> for details.
