Hi Frank, Pan has been bit-rotten for a while now. Besides the unfortunate dependency on Visual C++, it used a now long-obsolete GUI library. That's one reason I started working on Pajama (http://conal.net/Pajama).
There's no reason not to create modern, cross-platform successors to Pan/Pajama and Vertigo. Since I'm focusing on other projects (related to Eros -- http://conal.net/papers/Eros), I'm waiting for collaborators. Thanks for the VS Express tip. If I wanted to stick with VS, that'd be the way to go. I hadn't heard about werkkzeug. Looks pretty cool. Thanks.
