!!! Failed to complete python imports. There are internal modules for

try to re-emerge python because it seems that your python-lib is incomplete.

You can download python from http://www.python.org
Unzip it, run ./configure with the parameters portage is using (you'll
find this in file /usr/bin/ebuild.sh in function econf) and then run make.
The parameters portags is using for make install can you find as well in
file /usr/bin/einstall in function einstall.
After that, your python should be complete thus you should be able to
emerge normally.

Go to /usr/portage/sys-apps/portage/files/README.RESCUE.

Follow the instructions to get a working emerge, then remerge python
and portage.

what parameters should i use?

[snip]

./configure \
--prefix=/usr \
--host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu \
--mandir=/usr/share/man \
--infodir=/usr/share/info \
--datadir=/usr/share \
--sysconfdir=/etc \
--localstatedir=/var/lib \
--libdir=/usr/lib \
--with-fpectl \
--enable-shared \
--enable-ipv6 \
--infodir=/usr/share/info \
--mandir=/usr/share/man \
--with-threads \
--with-cxx=no \
--enable-unicode=ucs4

this is how it configure on my amd64 system, *change* --host accordingly
to your /etc/make.conf, you can choose to not enable ipv6

The parameters above are the one portage is using.
Additionally, you can choose optional parameters which you'll get by
running ./configure --help

As I mentioned earlier, gentoo already has recovery procedures builtin
(README.RESCUE), so you don't need to download and built python from
external sources.

If you want to do it the hard way, fine and dandy, but it's not necessary.
