Yes, I've heard you say that in the past too. If people haven't guessed, I'm 
thinking about what it would take 'push' KDE+Python more. AFAIK, the 
kde-bindings dir in KDE's CVS isn't actually distributed with the official 
KDE releases. (Is it the same story with the javascript bindings? anyone 
know?) I'm trying to figure out what can be done about this, and then if it 
is a case of someone just doing it and maintaining it in CVS, whether I 
should afford to take on the job...
