Does this need to re-install or re-"emerge" python packages apply only 
to Windows, or are some or all other OS/distributions similarly 
affected? If so, do we identify whether a corresponding script exists 
to assist the other similarly affected OS/distributions and, where 
there is none, do we propose to python maintainers that they include 
one, or is it worth our contributing them?
