Python niceties
I recently discovered how nice GEdit has become with the latest GNOME release! It has a cool plugin system that supports C and Python plugins, and comes with a bunch of nice plugins. I played around with it a bit and wrote a very simple Devhelp plugin so that I can press F7 to perform a search in Devhelp with the word at the cursor, just like I can do in emacs. I've committed it to Devhelp if anyone wants to try it out.
In other Python related news, I tried, mostly for the fun of it, to build and run pygtk on the Mac with the GTK+ Quartz backend. After implementing some missing stubs in the backend, I got pygtk-demo working :) The really nice part was that pygtk worked right out of the box.
