Gentoo python 3.x error ...

I received an error compiling docutils and it is caused by python 3.x:

(File "/usr/lib/python3.1/encodings/ascii.py", line 26, in decode ...)

A work around:

# mkdir -p /etc/portage/env/dev-python/
# echo "export LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8" > /etc/portage/env/app-portage/docutils

Compiled correctly afterwards.
