Eggsellent news.

I've been working on setuptools a.k.a. eggs for Portage. A couple of apps that only work with eggs seemed like a good way to start, so here's TurboGears and Django (live svn/eggs ebuild) for testing:

* Checkout the overlay directory from svn 
svn co http://eggs.gentooexperimental.org/svn/trunk/overlay eggsoverlay

* Add eggsoverlay directory to PORTDIR_OVERLAY in /etc/make.conf 
emerge turbogears

emerge django-svn

You'll probably want to emerge those with '-pv' so you can see what database backends are available.
Bug reports goto trac until we get this in portage.
