The reason why "nobody" is using it is because package authors are not supporting it. I have made the decision to drop wxPython. Part of the reason I made that decision is because Robin Dunn has no plans for a Python 3 version (or so he said when I asked the same question there as Andrew just asked here.) I am actively moving everything I can over to Python 3, and am depending on you to have a graphics package ready for me. Pywin32 is done. Yes, it took some effort, but it was do-able, and the build system now handles all the differences for new releases. Don't let me down here.

The reason that I am the administrator for adodbapi is because the original author disappeared without a trace. After many months of non-contact, sourceforge gave me access to continue the work. I picked up the outstanding patches and applied them. The rest is history. I recommend sourceforge very highly. You can maintain as much autonomy as you feel you need, and gradually share responsibility when you are ready. I have also tried google code and launchpad, there are no flies on them, but I still like sourceforge better. > -- > Greg By the way... I have been thinking about making an IronPython version of PyGUI -- after I get done with a better (i.e. genuine ADO.NET) IronPython version of adodbapi. IPy 2.6 is about halfway to Python 3 (there is no difference between str and unicode.) You could get more help with stuff like this if you were to move to a DVCS. -- Vernon
