[Pyrex] A perverse use of Pyrex

[David McNab]

Hi all,

Just a quick message to put the word out of a rather bizarre use of
Pyrex.

I've taken the EvilWM window manager, and used Pyrex to 'pythonise' the
hell out of it. What's resulted is an X window manager that's fully
encapsulated into a Python class, which can be very easily and
comfortably tailored via subclassing.

I picked EvilWM for the butchering because it's:
 - tiny
 - comfortable from mouse or keyboard
 - written in vanilla C

In contrast to the arcane and unapproachable PLWM, py-EvilWM is very
easy to learn and use. With the example, you'll see what's going on and
be hacking your own customisations in seconds.

Receive events eg window create, mouse enter window, mouse click,
keystrokes, window move/resize etc - and take actions by executing any
of a rich range of class methods.

Thanks again Greg for creating such an inspired tool which is Pyrex.
