OpenStreetMap
I downloaded all my gps traces.
Used a simple ruby script to convert them to a .osm file. Each gps point became a node with an amenity=post_box tag.
Used osm2pgsql to import the .osm file into PostGIS.
Cut down the mapnik stylesheet so it only rendered postboxes using a 1x1 black box.
Added a couple of lines to generate_tiles.py to delete blank tiles. Then generated the tiles for zoom 8 to 17 in the area of my gps traces.
The result can be seen here.

What are the couple of extra lines you added to generate_tiles.py? That seems quite a useful addition in some cases.

Looking at it I only added a single line. generate_tiles.py already checks for blank tiles by comparing the file size of a tile against a hardcoded value. I just addeed a line to delete the blank file.
