It's mostly based on 'digikey.py' which has been on my website
forever.  I did some refinement, though, and I should release a new
version.

I also have a companion script whcih will take the BOM and prepare the
digikey order for you, using Python webbrowser controller library. 
Because when I fill out an order by hand, I'll surely make typos and
dyslexia errors.  I can put that code in the release as well.

Regards,
Mark
