Hello everyone!
First of all I'd like to apologize that I've been absent: I've been sent to
Italy to study Latin for this year to be able speak it. Since I've missed
more than month of study when I've come to Academy, I had to use all my
efforts to catch up with the rest. However, I've never forgotten about the
promise I've given to Bruno, though I wanted to make a small surprise for
Bruno and all great people who work to make gnulib even better. The other
factor explaining why the work was carried out in secret and result was
never publicated until this time is that I wanted to rewrite gnulib from
the beginning, so I don't wanted to use the same public git repo or create
public branch to let anyone see it before it will be ready.
Though even now I see some things which I can implement a bit other way or
change, I think that gnulib-tool.py and pygnulib, its basis, are now almost
ready for real work. There are some nuances, though they (except one) don't
seem to take any significant part. I feel that the largest part of work is
completed.

Addendum:
0. Since it's really painkill to support both Python and Python3K, only the
last one was left. I think the time has come, so I've removed support for
Python's versions less than 3.
1. Short documentation (which I'm planning to increase later) is located
here: *pygnulib/README*. It just briefly describes pygnulib and shows some
short examples. The most notable part of documentation can be acieved by
typing pydoc3 pygnulib. The other way to understand the way pygnulib
works is to see the sources, especially *gnulib-tool.py*, *
pygnulib/PyGNULib/GLImporter.py*, *pygnulib/PyGNULib/GLTestDir.py* files.
2. I've never writtten scripts to manually add python packages to their
location. If you need to use pygnulib in your own scripts, you must *
manually* copy it to corresponding directory. I advice to adjust
GNULIB_ROOT variable inside *pygnulib/PyGNULib/constants.py* file before
copying pygnulib to Python modules: it should help you not to get tired
from pointing to gnulib-root directory when creating GLSystem instances.
3. Don't forget to see *pygnulib/TODO* file. It contains some really
usefult information, including semi-bugs.
4. gnulib-tool --avoids now accepts modules as list too, not the way as it
was before (I've forgotten to tell about it in documentation). I think it's
a good idea to fix it, but when I've thought about it, I was to lazy to fix
it. If it is necessary, I'll fix it.
Any questions are appreciated. Testing is appreciated even more, though
I've tested only some basic actions with some basic packages like *hello*.
Since I'm studying in Italy yet, I won't have so much time until summer.
However, I hope that I can help even this time, though I can't promise it
will be often. I hope that situation will change when summer comes.
Good luck!
