Pyfloppy 1.1 http://www.8ung.at/klappnase/pyfloppy/pyfloppy.html I found pyfloppy tonight and it works very well, particularly for running through a bunch of half rotten disks deciding which to through in the bin. I built an ebuild for it and also a small patch to fix a path, I could have used a 'sed' line in the ebuild instead of the patch but every time I do something like that I get jumped on by the readability police :) Anyway I'm not used to submitting ebuilds so forgive my if I've done something wrong, and please correct me if I have. Cheers Dylan Wakefield.

I've updated this ebuild to version 1.3, I still find it a useful tool, even if it's not in the official tree. New ebuild posted below.

not really related to python except it is written in python. removing cc.
Well, it looks like Michael has been busy updating PyFloppy, I only just noticed this. I've updated the ebuild for version v1.6 and also added a patch to catch instances where python is installed without tk support and print the appropriate message suggesting that the 'tk' USE flage be enabled for python. New ebuild and path are below. Dylan
