I'm pleased to announce that, after a very busy weekend and one or two weeknights, I've successfully built a Python equivalent to the Google Web Toolkit (GWT) that can handle half the Hello World example.
It sounds small but the pieces are largely all there in a primitive state:
Now it's just a case of incrementally improving each of these areas.
You can see the result in revision 19 at:

Version 2.5 of SubEthaEdit, my favourite non-Emacs text editor on OS X, has just been released.
I found out because their bug tracking system emailed me to let me know they'd fixed a bug I submitted.
Cleverly, the bug tracking system didn't email me when it was actually marked as fixed (which wouldn't help me as it's a commercial product and I don't have access to nightly builds) but rather it emailed me when the first release that fixed the problem came out—a nice email saying there's a new release and that it fixes my bug.
I think that's a cool feature for a bug tracking system.
