Can’t you and Paul TT team up to continue development of “the” pythm,
until the original author appears back (if at all)? Then there would be
no forks at all, just a helpful takeover.

I see you are an experienced developer
(http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=debian%
40onerussian.com&comaint=yes), so I won’t insist on a reviewing

you to the project.

Greetings,
Joachim
