[gentoo-user] RFC ebuild for a non-standard Python package

[Helmut Jarausch]

Hi,

I'd like to install the new package expy on sourceforge
http://expy.sourceforge.net/

Unfortunately, the contents of it are a bit non-standard.
First, the tarball has the unusual name  expy.6.6.tgz.

Second, it untars in to the current directory (no subdirectory
expy-6.6)

Third, it has setup.py and some helper modules in a subdirectory
'src'.

My current (working) ebuild is a litte bit brute force.
I'd appreciate any comments on streamlining and standardizing it.
Many thanks,
Helmut.
