[pygtk] [ANN] MVC-0.3.0 released

[Ionutz Borcoman]

Hi,

I think it would be nice if:

1. Put somewhere a 'road-map' of the project. This way it will be easier 
for the end-user (me) to know if the framework is almost-useable or it 
is far from that (to me it looks useable enough, so I wonder why is the 
version 0.3.0). What will it take for this to go from an alfa version 
(this is what I understand from 0.3.0) to something like a beta or even 
final version.

2. Reorganize the directories and add a 'setup.py' file. I think the 
dirs should look like this:

- docs (as it is now)
   - html
   - src
- mvc
   - support
- example
   - glade
setup.py

I've attached to this message a basic 'setup.py' and a modified 
'example.py' that works with the above dir structure even when the 'mvc' 
module is not installed.
