Hello, Thanks to people who have been pushing me into this, a beta-quality release of py_aspell is available from http://oriya.sarovar.org/download/py_aspell.tar.gz It contains Python bindings (via SWIG: http://www.swig.org) for all objects in aspell.h, Python implementations of the aspell example programs, list-dicts.c and example-c.c, and wordspell.py, a GUI spellchecker that lets you enter a word for spellchecking. wordspell.py uses Pango/GTK for the rendering, so it should work with any language supported by Pango, provided an aspell dictionary is available. This was the main motivation for writing this. While the spellchecker plug-in in gedit 2.12 does support aspell 0.60, it seems to have a hard- coded internal list of languages. The release is still not put together very well, but should work out of the box if you have Python 2.3 or 2.4, and aspell 0.60+. You only need SWIG if you want to remake the Python bindings, which is usually not necessary. Please see the README file in the distribution for details. Comments are invited.
