Anyway, hope this > helps. Really, I'm just fact-checking. It was the Brenden Eich article that Fredrik Lundh pointed to that I had found before, I was trying to recover it (turns out "python xul mozilla" + "I feel lucky" does NOT find it ;-), though it is on the first page, I admit). I wanted to get an idea of 1) When it would *really* be available 2) What developers or users would need to install in order to actually use a Python/XUL/Mozilla application. 3) Whether there was a version available that anyone here had tried, and what their experience was like. 4) Can you do this now, using PyXPCOM and the regular Mozilla/XUL? I'm refering to this in an article in press for Free Software Magazine, and I wanted to see just how close this really was to happening. If it's likely to be released in the next month or three, then it will probably come out before the article goes to press. It's not a huge point, but I hate to get stuff like this wrong.
