GUI Toolkits(Python and XUL)

[Thomas G. Willis]

Well, I can't remeber exactly where I saw this. But a quick googling 
brought this up.

Looks like Activestate has abandoned this since there download links are 
dead on ASPN.

Anyone have a definitive answer for whether this has been officially 
discontinued or not?
