While I think that in principle this would be a good idea, there are
some management issues that would need to be resolved, such as:
1- PyGTK wraps GTK+ for Python. Which life-cycle do we follow, GTK's or
Python's?
2- Do we keep PyGTK's bugzilla, or use sourceforge's bug tracker (ugh!)
to integrate better with python;
3- What happens to pyorbit and gnome-python? They probably don't belong
in python, anyway, but I needed to raise this point...
4- Someone might bring up political question regarding the inclusion of
pygtk in detriment of pyqt; in particular, KDE's more intense
enthusiasts (=fanatics:) may stop liking python because of the inclusion
of pygtk;
In spite of these issues, there are many advantages of including pygtk,
as you all know. But it also depends on the degree of freedom that
python's maintainers would be willing to give to pygtk developers, I
think...
Just my 0.02 ¤...
