launchpad-karma - track Launchpad Karma

launchpad-karma is a a simple script to track and graph Launchpad karma over time.

It's meant to be run on a daily basis (usually by cron). At every run, it collects the karma for the current day and stores it in a SQLite database. Then it regenerates an HTML page with graphs (along with related JavaScript and css files) in the specified target directory.
