I'm assuming those tweaks are for backend code. A Phonegap binding would still be immensely useful because the frontend HTML5/Javascript code would be reusable across platforms. Not to mention, they could be re-used even in a server environment as long as the backend is rewritten. That's still plenty of code reuse versus the standard PyGTK/PyGame route.
I'm curious to know if anyone has written even a subset of the Phonegap bindings. For my application, I'm looking for basic things, mostly having to do with database calls.
