I just installed Sabayon, which is based on Gentoo. As far as I can tell, it's just Gentoo, with an installer. I was able to merge a few things, but since I merged Openssh (I think that was the last one) every time I try to use the emerge command I get this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 37, in <module>

from _emerge.SlotObject import SlotObject
ImportError: No module named SlotObject

I tried revdep-rebuild, which didn't help.
I tried to reinstall portage, by unpacking Gentoo's portage .tar, that didn't do it.
I feel like the answer might be obvious to anyone who knows python, but I am unfamiliar with that language.

No, its not. The world file is a mess, as are package.use, package.keywords, package.mask, and package.unmask.
If you want Gentoo, you should install Gentoo. It will give you enough experience to use the system understand it. It will also be cleaner because you will only have what you want installed. Trust me on this: it is less trouble to install Gentoo than to try to clean up Sabayon and turn it into Gentoo.

A guess for a solution if you want to save you system: try reinstalling python and portage using equo or sulfer. Emerge breaks the Sabayon tools because they loose track of what is installed, and that could be your problem. Also make sure python is set on 2.7 because python 3 is not ready for system use yet. Use this command:
Code:
sudo eselect python list
sudo eselect python set <#>
where <#> is the number for python 2.7 For my output below, that would be 1.
You should see something like this:
Code:
Available Python interpreters:
  [1]   python2.7 *
  [2]   python3.2

If you changed versions, run python-updater

EDIT: ahh, I see Hu got here first.

Moved from Portage & Programming to Unsupported Software as Sabayon is not Gentoo.
