PyGTK Shell 0.9.0
=================

The PyGTK Shell is a framework making Python applications open to realtime
programmatic intervention by its users.

This is just the right tool for Python-programming control freaks.

Have a look at the code, it shouldn't be too hard to grasp if you know
Python and PyGTK.

Please send feedback, bugs, usage examples, code for new features,
questions, anything.  On request (has not happened so far), I'll gladly
open a mailing list or an IRC channel on FreeNode.

My personal involvement after 0.9.0 will pause for a while since I'm
starting studies (see bottom of doc/HACKING.txt, section "Hacking Felix").
