The question is who are you targetting and what "holes" do you
perceive in the existing set of tools? What are you going to with
this new tool? If one knows Python its easy enough firing up an
editor and coding away or using the interactive interpreter. There
are too many editors, and enough highly interactive interpreters for
Python. If you are looking to generate a GUI builder, then again
there are lots of tools for that.

Huh? From all my experience with wxPython, it is certainly not buggy.
It is a moving target but thats a different issue. GTK has also been
a moving target.
As regards bindings, pyGTK is a binding too so there is no big
difference in that regard between pyGTK and wxPython. Where are there
"too many bindings" I cannot understand. Trouble with GTK is that its
still not as cross platform as wxPython is (atleast when I checked
last).
BTW, have you looked at PythonCard?

There is no dearth of Python based IDE projects (IDLE, Boa, Eric
etc.). Have you read this:

Perhaps what you want to do is generate another IDE thats GTK
specific. Which brings me back to question 2. Where is the clear
analysis of what you want to do, and what current projects don't
already do or intend to do? Why is your solution better than say
using Emacs/Vi?

So, you do the obvious, queue up commits and do it in one go when you
have a substantial amount to commit. You usually have to connect to
get email, so this should not be a big deal.
