It's in contrib/layout, also abandoned for now.  It probably needs
trivial changes to work with the current pyglet (IIRC it was written
around 1.0alpha1 time).

The current trunk (in preparation for pyglet 1.1) includes text layout
classes (pyglet.text) that provide most of the same functionality that
the layout module did.  The new layout classes do away with the insane
complexity of CSS and adopt a model similar to RTF, and allow for
interactive editing of text/style as well as being many hundreds of
times faster to lay out and render.

I'm pretty confident that pyglet.text satisfies the needs that the
layout module would have provided for if several months' more work had
gone into it.

Alex.
