Re: Sawfish in python??? scheme?

Thanks, Chris. Now we understand that you've seriously investigated
this issue, but it seems guile-gnome is almost dead.

The last release was done in Jul 2008. The ML archive is here, but
it's quite inactive: http://osdir.com/ml/guile-gtk-general-gnu/

Feb 24 message [1] indicates that what can be called a "plan" for gtk+3
isn't there. It refers to "Zeeshan's guile-gir"[2], but it's a private
project, and has been stale for half a year.

Maybe other Scheme than guile is desired.

Some schemes use native code, but I think it's better to have REPL,
since it allows on-the-fly configuration with sawfish-client like
stuff. I'm not sure; all lisp/scheme I know are Emacs-lisp and
Librep.

Though I agree Scheme is more, if not most, realisic, let me push a
bit more: Once a window manager starts, it's event-driven, so speed
doesn't matter much, I guess. And what about Cython?
