We recently spent a lot of time looking at these canvas's. Many of them
seem quite dead in the water. Goocanvas (and pygoocanvas) is quite easy
to use but requires all sorts of binary packaging issues. (I.E. Ubuntu's
distributed package is quite out of date, which means it's useless). And
there's no Win32 Python 2.6 package, which makes it hard to write
portable stuff. At least not that we found. Maybe there's one somewhere?

Then we found a pure Python LGPL canvas that seems quite great: gaphas.
(It's referenced at the bottom of the Project Ridley page).

IMHO it'd be great if PyGTK came with a canvas like gaphas. It'd also be
cool if it came with some default Pythonic way built-in to do the
threading things everyone keeps asking about. :>
