Especially after we just did a bunch of work on it to bring it up to date. Fuzzyray prefers it over eix for one. And is why it was updated. Personally I don't use it much, I tend to use porthole for searching. Even though I have eix installed, I rarely use it, just usually for some testing.

FWIW, I use esearch (heh, just looked up eix with it). I have it embedded in my update script as well, to update its database, and have a few front-ends for it (ehome being the most used), which return just the specified data. So switching to eix if esearch is treecleaned wouldn't be entirely painless, but it shouldn't be overly painful, either. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.

I will fix bugs in the script if someone does the ebuild work or proxies for me.

I used to maintain this; but I don't see a compelling reason to use it
over eix, so I recommend removal.

I did want to migrate equery to the enalyze classes for handling the menus, module options and things. This will eliminate a lot more duplicated code.

A couple small bugs and it should be ready for a 2.0.0 final. Then will be finishing the changes needed for it to be able run correctly in py3. There are still a few changes needed for a clean 2to3 run to work without additional patching. If I drop py2.5 compatibility it would also reduce the number of fixes 2to3 would need to make.
