Do you happen to have a link to that available?
Thanks!

The template is at [1] and the ebuild file is at [2] both are obsolete at this point.

[1] https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/sci-geosciences/gpsd/files/gpsd-3.3-setup.py

[2] https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/sci-geosciences/gpsd/gpsd-9999.ebuild

It should be slightly faster due to not reconfiguring/recompiling all of gpsd for every version of Python you want to build for. Speed benefits only really kick for the third* (and subsequent) module(s) built. Your mileage will vary.
