Just curious, any more details on this? I did a quick look at 
pymaemo-developers archive and browsed pymaemo SVN tree but failed to 
find any details or code in progress. I wonder how configurable it will 
be (i.e list of modules preloaded in the launcher, could and should I 
still launch separate python for simple non-gui python stuff?) and how 
it will play with memory - will each (forked) python instance with gtk 
and everything take additional memory (like now) or will be most/all of 
it shared. But I guess we'll see when the beta arrives in next release 
(any ETA?).

Thanks for the release BTW, I hope we'll see quick and lean python 
runtime preinstalled (or in some repository enabled by default) in the 
tablets in future.
