Pip2Arch - PyPi packages to Arch PKGBUILDs

Question

Pip2Arch is a simple tool to convert PyPi packages (the python equivalent of CPAN) into Arch PKGBUILDS.
You can get the code here: https://github.com/bluepeppers/pip2arch
Run
pip2arch.py --help
for help, usage should be simple enough.
Currently does not track dependencies, due to a problem with PyPi(?). Patches very welcome.
I use pip2arch for django servers, where I want to use obscure django packages that are not usually in the aur, but don't want to write a PKGBUILD for them. Using pip2arch, I just have to pay attention to the dependencies.
Thanks,
Laurie

Answer 1

Couple of patches
1st patch adds an -m option to allow for makedepends:
pip2arch.py -m git some_package
will create a some_package with a make dependency of git
2nd patch adds search functionality to pip2arch:
pip2arch.py -s mathematics
bessy
bidict
IntPy
isodate
munkres
NodeBox
PGAPy
qombinatorics
SciMath
scipy
