Hi Steve, I found this really cool. Taking Java not as a competitor, but
simply a working horse and doing the nice stuff in Python.
It is also quite quick. I could give it a try with my polytop meshes.
Is there a way to talk to the java code locally, also?
Could that be the compromise for the future?
Just to say we use Java as a general platform for the gui and control it
from Python?
I personally like the idea because it gives us _something_ immediately,
because it runs everywhere, and everyone can use a browser.

At least this is a very quick solution to the gui problem.
I would like to see a discussion in the main list.

cheers - chris
