PyXPCOM source is in the main Mozilla CVS tree. It is being maintained by Mark Hammond (the original developer of the extension). There isn't a lot of activity on it, I think, because: 1. Mark did such a good job of implementing it the first time around that it needs very little work :) 2. It is very high learning curve to get into playing with PyXPCOM because there are no conveniently packaged builds of PyXPCOM for current (or any) versions of Firefox or Mozilla. Interestingly, Mark is currently working *full* support for Python in the Mozilla code base, i.e. being able to use Python anywhere you can currently use JavaScript (in <script> tags in XUL and HTML). Look for "nsdom" and Python. Note that it is still very much in development phase, is only part of the Mozilla trunk (I believe) -- hence only really applies to Firefox versions well beyond FF2. The pyxpcom mailing list is here: http://listserv.activestate.com/mailman/listinfo/pyxpcom PyXPCOM is heavily used in Komodo (<http://www.activestate.com/Products/Komodo/>, the IDE that I work on at ActiveState). Regarding #2 (from above): Mark started some discussion a while back about the what it would take to provide builds of PyXPCOM. The answer is that it would probably be very hard. http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/pyxpcom/3167613 Cheers, Trent -- Trent Mick [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
