Portage releases are available on PyPi here:

https://pypi.org/project/portage

It is currently only tested for venv usage, like this:

CODE portage venv usage
python -m venv ~/portage-venv
. ~/portage-venv/bin/activate
pip install portage
portageq envvar EPREFIX

The first intended use case will be a tool to fetch distfiles for offline Gentoo systems:

Distribution via PyPi is a step in this plan for world domination:
