Development-wise, it appears to be dead. There have been plenty of good 
intentions but I think everyone who was able to work on PythonCard in 
the past have more important things to worry about. I'm only using it 
when I'm maintaining old Python GUI applications, which is pretty rare 
nowadays (I haven't touched any Python code this year).

A new release to gather up all of the little fixes since 0.8.2 would 
have been good, but by now there must be little tweaks and stuff all 
over the place.

I have no suggestions on a better Python GUI RAD tool - PythonCard is 
the only one I've been productive with although I suspect I'm a bit out 
of touch nowadays. I'd be interested in opinions on this too - have GUI 
RAD tools for dynamic languages got nowhere after all these years?
