The ebuild installing the python-rrdtool module

At the moment, rrdtool only ships with Python 2 bindings that can be installed via the Python use flag. On https://github.com/commx/python-rrdtool , a Python 3 port of the module is provided, which can be installed by the attached ebuild.

I never wrote a pythonic ebuild before, but it works and installs the module without any function definitions, so I think it's fine ;-)

Would be cool if this was included in the tree as long as rrdtool does not provide Python 3 support via the Python use flag.

It also works fine on arm (Raspberry Pi) – and of course should depend on rrdtool itself.

Updated ebuild with a USE flag determining whether or not the "graph" functions should be built. The necessary patch follows!

The ebuild also works for the recently released version 0.1.4 by simply renaming it.

With bug #619420 resolved, rrdtool gained python3 support.
