Can we not encourage people to pipe stuff from a plain-http website into
an interpreter?

But that's not the biggest problem with the wget thing: the first time
someone runs this it's going to fail.

  $ wget -O - dev.gentoo.org/~mgorny/cpuinfo2cpuflags-x86.py | python
  ...
  Unable to determine PORTDIR, please set it before calling this script

Now they get to download it again. Perhaps a bigger problem:

  $ echo $PORTDIR
  /var/cache/portage/repositories/gentoo
  $ python cpuinfo2cpuflags-x86.py
  Unable to determine PORTDIR, please set it before calling this script
