i feel your pain.  as the maintainer of an open source project myself, i
always love when people come along and say "hey, wouldn't it be great to
have X", where X is some incredibly time-intensive project.  i'm like, it
sure would! wanna do it?  so, yeah, sorry for doing that to you.  i haven't
looked extensively at the code or at pygtk.  how similar is it in design to
Qt?  does it use signals and slots?  is the THG functionality fairly
separated from the UI code?  the real pain in creating this port would be
setting every thing up so that the PyQT branch could continue to merge
updates done on the main branch.
