Dear Herb,

I would like to make sure that you knew about the disorganized and outdated
attempt named app-portage/g-npm:
URL: https://www.reddit.com/r/Gentoo/comments/38txil/how_do_you_guys_manage_languagespecific_package/
Title: "How do you guys manage language-specific package managers
(npm, gem, pip, etc)? : Gentoo"

I found out about that while trying to make an ebuild for
www-apps/etherpad-lite-1.2.91, see https://bugs.gentoo.org/328897 for
that.

You might also want to know about that attempt:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1064550-start-0.html
titled "Portage and NodeJS and similarity with Python, Perl, etc."

Perl monks using gentoo might want to know about app-portage/g-cpan, see first
URL above.

I just found out that app-portage/g-octave app-portage/g-sorcery existed.

I did not find anything wannabe "g-pip" for python.
