The distutils-based packages are a good starting point. The name is a good fit for that. Looking forward, I think it might make sense to move some of the functionality to a "core" python eclass that would just be for utility functions -- similar to the python/distutils split we have now. This would be used in ebuilds that are not primarily based around distutils (setup.py).
