I have disowned libpythonize :) Who's going to be responsible for 
that is kind of up in the air at the moment. David is busy with 
a new job, and I want to get PyKDE issues resolved first before 
committing to anything else, so that whole thread is kind of 
orphaned at the moment.

Basically, I took it out of PyKDE because it complicates building 
a little and maintaining it delays PyKDE releases too much. I'd 
like to see all of the libpythonize related stuff (panel 
applets, plugins, etc) be a separate project/release. It also 
should support the Qt Designer stuff, and it seems foolish (if 
not evil) to require people to install PyKDE to be able to write 
Qt Designer plugins in Python.

I'll pick it up eventually if no one else does, but I'd prefer 
someone who's better at that stuff than I am to handle that 
project. I'm happy to help out where posssible.
