Hi Doug, You didn't miss anything from the mailing list. I was responding to discussions several of us have been having at Pycon, so the confusion is completely my fault.
A little history... a module named livewires implements a simple graphics API that Vern and I have been using with our students and really like a lot. Two years ago I asked a student, David Muffley, to re implement the livewires API using pygame instead of tkinter (which livewires uses). "gasp" was born. Yesterday Tom Hoffman and Vern Ceder independently began thinking about getting the API on the OLPC, which means wrapping pygtk + cairo. A bunch of discussion on all this yesterday led us to where we now are, and motivated my posting. So, if all this interests you please join the mailing list at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks! jeff elkner On Tue, 27 Feb 2007 14:44:20 -0500, "Douglas S.
