Yeah. On the other hand the current situation with PyGTKSpell/PyEnchant
is as good as impossible for a user to figure out. We did find a workaround
to get those working, but it's... well a workaround :)

I do think the future of Python bindings will become simpler in the
future (PyGTK 2.24 being the end of the line, barring maybe bugfix
releases), with gobject-introspection + PyGObject removing the need for
static bindings for each and every library we want to use...

mvg,
Dieter
