not sure about the coffeescript bits, but one of the goals is to tease apart the monolithic "pyjs" repo into more focused sub-groups; extracting the GWT library is a big piece of this. it's been requested a number of times that i recall -- people should be able to pull the toolchain only, ie. the bare minimum needed to implement the python language itself + it's stdlib, and begin translating their sources, without any GWT stuff (or DOM, or anything beyond actually implementing python, and python's stdlib) floating around. i think this may attract users/developers with a different kind of need ... IIRC, someone posted an example in the past of implementing an algorithm/process in python for the backend, and then moving to the web was trivial thanks to the translation toolchain -- neither GWT, nor any other widget library, was needed or desired. -- C Anthony
