Sorry, but I disagree. Tried PyQt, been hugely disapointed. Boils down to any thing that can make Python (or, for that matter, any) interpreter segfault being totally broken. But as far as Qt goes, I would really just stick with C++. Python or Ruby have some advantage, but I am not sure it's that big to offset the fact, that a lot of code already exists in QGit. > Does Ruby have any good and mature UI libraries?

I believe Ruby Qt bindings are in better shape (properly handle Qt deleting objects under Ruby's hands). -- Jan 'Bulb' Hudec <bulb@xxxxxx> -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
