It seems unlikely that just porting Portage to another language would yield a faster implementation soon. Instead, one should focus on identifying bottlenecks in Portage and look at ways to solve them. And if you really want a faster language implementation, maybe look into Unladen Sparrow (slated to be merged into Python 3.3) or PyPy. > Has anyone of Pythonistas tried to give Cobra a look or two ? No. And I don't really think this question is very on-topic for gentoo-dev. Cheers, Dirkjan
