Yet another activity graph : how often do you emerge ?

Really, I seem to be fond of activity graphs those days. I have reused part of this previous code, but this time I parse the emerge log file to display the activity of your successful emerges. Think of it as a graphical view of ‘genlop -l’.

Those examples are the emerge activity of my two main computers.

The current code does the bare minimum, and  I need to add at least command line options for

• logfile to use (currently/default : /var/log/emerge.log)
• filename to create (currently/default : activity.png)
• width/height of the image (currently/default : 800×600)

The usage is straightforward:

orzel@berlioz EmergeActivity% ./EmergeActivity.py

There are 9896 emerge completed successfully

Created the file 'activity.png'

orzel@berlioz EmergeActivity% xv activity.png &
