Hi, as previously mentioned in IRC, there is a competent python guy in the lubuntu team who may have some free time to help out if it is wished that I ask him. Regards, Phill. On 13 June 2013 18:47, Patrick Dickey wrote: > I'll dig around too this weekend. It might not be as big of a deal as

I'll dig around too this weekend. It might not be as big of a deal as we think. Also instead of searching for "Porting Python from PyGTK2 to PyGTK3" or something like that, maybe look for differences between PyGTK2 and PyGTK3 or something along those lines. Have a great day.:) Patrick. On Thu, 20

I'm sure once you're ready with code, the branch can be unlocked. Plus any changes you make will sit in your local branch until you can upload them. Have a great day.:) Patrick. P.S. I'll try to help you out whenever I can, but I'm not sure how much help I'll be. On Mon, 2013-06-10 at 10:45 -040

After reason the link that Hannie provided, I saw that the bzr branch is restricted to one user being able to push to the branch. That's a problem. But I will look into it all today, and "quickly" learn some python so I can attempt to bring it back. Thank you all for the help! Thomas Sent from

On the link that Hannie provides, if you follow through the thread (or read it in an email client), you'll see that Neil Tallim had offered to help out in what ways he could with getting it running. Maybe if we figure out what needs to be done to get it working on 13.10, we can ask Neil for suggest

Also I know that the .NET projects have issues with open source licenses (that are not "MPL compatible"). I'm not sure whether Mono/C# has those issues or not. It's more to do with Microsoft allowing (or not allowing) their libraries to be used in Open Source licensed applications (read as GPL).
