Turns out that 99.99% of the work of doing ebuilds for Python packages is done for you. You just need to tell the script what the name, description, filename, and download URL of the package are. For SourceForge projects (almost all of mine) there's even built-in support for downloading from the SourceForge mirror sites.

Most of the day was spent on graphics :) . Basically on planning out and experimenting with how to create an overview graphic to show the entire cable-modem plant in a compact and efficient-to-create format.
