From it's www page: Cpuspeedy is a simple tool written in Python which allows you to change the clock speed and voltage of the CPUs using the Linux's CPUFreq driver. Cpuspeedy is a user space program, so it will work on every processor supported by the kernel's CPUFreq driver. Features * One simple, easy to use program to set the CPU speed. No daemons, no fency algorithms to determine the speed to use. * Four different modes of operation: minimum, low, medium, high, maximum which you can set. * Best of all, it saves battery consumption and reduces the temperature of your laptop.

this really isn't related to python except it was written in python.
it has also graphical frontend: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46036
Commited with a few changes. python is only a runtime depend (RDEPEND) I couldn't understand why linux-sources was there as a DEPEND. Please use RESTRICT="nomirror" when using sourceforge to avoid too much stuff ending up on the Gentoo Mirrors. I submitted a bug fix upstream that may get propergated in the same version tarball on sourceforge. This will cause a digest fault sometime in the near future. If this happens let me know (or for any dev feel free to fix it). I'm missing the correct kernel modules to support this so if this is failing please reopen this bug.
