+==========
+
+To run ``g-pypi`` without portage permissions, you can try something like
+
+   DISTDIR=/tmp PORTAGE_TMPDIR=/tmp g-pypi -Y ~/my/overlay <package_name[==version]>
+
+Which will do all the requisite mucking about in the :file:`/tmp`
+directory, which your average user can write to.  Note that you *will*
+need to be part of the ``portage`` group.  I'm not sure how to work
+around that yet.
