Wrote some code to read list of installed packages (CPV - category, package, version) using the Gentoolkit api, as well as the Portage dbapi. Here’s the results !
#!/usr/bin/env python
from time import time
startg = time ()
from gentoolkit.helpers import get_installed_cpvs
for cpv in sorted (get_installed_cpvs ()):
print cpv
endg = time ()
startp = time ()
from portage.dbapi.vartree import vartree
vt = vartree ()
for cpv in sorted (vt.getallcpv ()):
print cpv
endp = time ()
print "Gentoolkit", endg - startg
print "Portage", endp - startp...
...
xfce-extra/xfce4-power-manager-1.0.10
xfce-extra/xfce4-sensors-plugin-1.0.0-r1
xfce-extra/xfce4-taskmanager-1.0.0
Gentoolkit 2.60817313194
Portage 0.0787289142609Portage dbapi is way faster than Gentoolkit :)
