that's fine by me... as long as it doesn't have "GWT" as a major component of the path name. > We *are* the python port of GWT.

I think there is benefit in keeping > a pristine GWT translation *somewhere*. ok - it's going, and that's the end of it. i wasn't consulted about the move and the answer would have been "no". i'm just going through the files and i find that there are actually duplicate identical files, some of which have had bug-fixes to one but not the other. when google provide some money they can dictate that the project be called "GWT for python" and that lots of advertising of the name "GWT" be placed directly into the source code. otherwise they can fuck off. l.
