fox 1.2.x and FXPy

Is there any plan to make bindings of the future fox toolkit 1.2.x for
python? New widgets, antialiased fonts and so on is a "Good Thing".

GTK is a pain, wxpython is horribly slow, and tkinter doesn't have
good look and widgets are too basic.

The bindings in http://fxpy.sf.net are very old and python 2.3 isn't
supported.
If you need bindings for linux it compiles without problems, but under
Windows+VC6 I've had lots of problems, so after a lot of tries I've
compiled the bindings of fox 1.0.51 for windows with jpeg+png+zlib
support, with the mingw32 (gcc 3.3.1) suite (uffs!!!) for python
2.3.x.

It seems to work reasonably well. If anyone is interested in the
package I can e-mail it (tar.bz2, weights about 2MB)

I've tried the tnfox bindings but they are very slow and need some
non-standard libraries from msvc 7.1 and openssl.
