Right! As you might recall (or perhaps not), a few weeks ago we were discussing whether to deprecate Python in this cycle or the next one, and I said I wasn't sure what to do. Well, since then I made a few quite big internal API changes that simplify things quite a bit, but that unfortunately broke most extensions (again...). I decided that instead of fixing things in Python land to later remove it I'd just go ahead and do all big changes in one go. So, that's for a bit of context. > > Port them over to what, and how? The options are C and Seed. I suppose most people with python extensions will decide to either give up on them or port them to Seed, so I'll assume you are interested in the latter :) > > I'm more than willing to port my single little extension, but I need a > little more info to do it :-) The basics of writing a seed extension are covered here: http://blogs.gnome.org/racarr/2009/02/08/epiphany-seed-extensions/ (there's really not a lot to it), and the seed wiki page (http://live.gnome.org/Seed/) has pointers to documentation and examples. I've already started writing extensions and filling upstream bugs, and I encourage everyone to do the same to have the best support possible for 2.28. Other than that I guess it depends on the particulars of what you want to do; feel free to ask any question here or in the channel, and we'll try to help.
