A long time ago someone (me) read this and thought -- hmmm, I have
some Gravatar code on my own site that could be turned into something
generic as a start.  Then, said developer made a library and promptly
did nothing with it on his own site or otherwise.

I discovered this lib again today and thought I should mention it,
even if the moment has long passed. :-)

Behold the cleverly named gravatarlib -- https://launchpad.net/gravatarlib

At the time I wrote it, none of the other py libs for Gravatar dealt
with profile data at all.  This one does.

Cheers,
