the package? :-)
^^^^ highly recommended way

blasphemy!  gobject FTW!  no you are of course correct ... however
within the next 2 weeks i have a couple large openings in
code-free-time and i'll be pushing the new bindings then.

... as i said in the other message, the future of pythonwebkit support
is anything but a sure thing; i personally don't want to continue
duct-taping it.

no idea here ... frankly, i only got it running once (maybe?), but it
seems to work with the right combination of deps (which, as you know,
in Arch, can be more annoying to keep running due to keeping pace with
upstream).

i think we need to explore other venues, like FireBreath or similar,
and get a unified native runtime experience going here ... because
they are constantly distracting from work on the compiler, and is a
never-ending battle against bit-rot.  well, except MSHTML ... or so
the legend goes.
