Oh you of little faith. Someone approached karltk at LWE with a |
| 10 |
completed python+gtk2 installer. See http://pen2.sclab.clarkson.edu/. |

I quote Karl: |
| 13 |
"What's more, they're going to be working actively on this |
| 14 |
irrespectively of whether we officially start using it or not. I |
| 15 |
personally would think it completely stupid not to seriously consider |
| 16 |
this most generous offer; they are an entire sw development team, they |
| 17 |
seem organised, they have api docs, and they're long-time gentoo users. |
| 18 |
Having them do most of the dirty-work, leaves us to do integration and |
| 19 |
tweaks, to polish this thing off." |
