the first two are all but completely borked -- the Windows version has only been modified 3 times in 3 years, and is, more or less, rock-solid. > Even if I do get it going, how would distribution work?

I'm less sure of what will happen to Mac ... i personally have no means of developing for that platform ... the gobject ones would probably work (using libwebkitgtk and thus GTK), but it would not use Cocoa and thus not have the Mac "look and feel" (which, frankly, is the king of piddley-little-wah-wah complaints; i only sympathize because installing GTK means lots(?) more dependencies, et al) unfortunately, native runner [pyjd] development and installation are notoriously difficult stabilize for umpteen reasons; maybe try creating an integrated/bundled pyjs webapp instead. -- C Anthony
