python script for selecting kde packages

[ripper2256]

i wrote a little script, which may help you, with all the kde-split packages. it shows all availabe kde-split packages with the correct description, so you can select better the packages you really need, and deselect the you don't. after you select
all needed packets you can directly emerge them.

you can download the script from my website: http://www.netslaughters.de/download/kde-select.tar.gz
after unpacking run:

That not a bad idea. I downloaded it more for curiousity value so I could poke around the code because I already have kde installed I notice you have hard coded the list of kde packages in to the script. If a new kde package gets added your script becomes out of date. I realise you've probably done it that way for speed, however you could future proof it quite easily just by traversing through /usr/portage/kde-base/ examining the most recent ebuild of each package and reading the information out of those. Chances are you've already coded this somewhere to create those arrays!
