I couldn't agree more; I'd love to use Python 3.1, but very little software I use runs on it :-/

I imported all the releases of PyGUI I could find into a Mercurial repository, and uploaded it to Bitbucket.[1] It also includes the fix to make PyGUI run on Mac OS X 10.6, as  2.2 _still_ doesn't work there. With regard to hosting, I'd personally prefer either them or Google Code, as I've always found the Sourceforge user experience quite annoying.

IPy 2.6 is about halfway to Python 3 (there is no difference between str and unicode.) You could get more help with stuff like this if you were to move to a DVCS.

My Mercurial repository contains an experimental, incomplete native Cocoa backend. I abandoned it partially because of the lack of collaboration…
