[pygtk] Re: massrotate: gtkperl => pygtk

[Deliverable Mail]

Thanks, but I'm in fact asking for more specific ways as to how to
find corresponding functions in perl and python for GTK specifically. 
Did anyone translate a gtkperl script to pygtk before?  How did you go
about it?  Googling shows some postings claiming pygtk's coverage of
GTK was less than gtkperl's, and python's was also slower to start and
run.  Is it still the case?

Cheers,
Alexy
