Re: gnome dependencies?

["Stephen Kennedy" <stevek gnome org>]

Hi Jerzy, this is definitely possible to do. Most of meld was written
with really early pygtk-1.99, but over the years most of the good
gnome stuff has been moved into pygtk. The biggest remaining hurdle to
being pure pygtk is probably the use of GnomeFileEntry and friends.
