No, not at all. I should have mentioned this is my personal view. James Henstridge should be the maintainer, but unfortunately he has been absent for too long, and pygtk/gnome-python must go on. I am one of a group of hackers that took over maintainership, like the stewards of Gondor waiting (hoping) for the return of the king. :) However, most gnome-python hackers share this point of view, I think. I hope I didn't sound too harsh. I think GNOME Platform Bindings is good thing. But its current format doesn't suit gnome-python very well. Best regards. -- Gustavo J. A. M.
