Maybe this can be seen as proving Just's point (do more in Python): by
the time you've finished all the odds and ends you may have been
better off implementing W in Cocoa so that you get IDE for free (and a
lot more besides).

Hmm, on re-reading that paragraph: I definitely don't want to belittle
your efforts, far from it! It's just that I tend to agree with Just:
write as little C code as you possibly can, and use Python to glue it
all together.
