Hi James,
First I'd like to thank you for all your hard work. I have used
gnome-python and only that, and I have found it to be great. Having
quasi-automatic bindings for all future gtk/gnome stuff is also awesome.
Now below are my answers to your questions.

Unless gtk 1.4/gnome2.0 is due very soon, I'd go with moving to
extension class right away to allow guys like me to get acquainted with
it and change my code accordingly. This would help me and others in my
situation to get ready asap.

I believe pygtk should be available alone for those people who don't
want to use gnome for any reason whatsoever. But as far as I am
concerned, gnome-python should include both. For instance in my case, I
keep needing both. Gnome doesn't have all the widgets I need. But maybe
this would change by 2.0. Who knows? You probably more than me in any
case.
