Massimo, it's just a style matter but could you please unmix tabs and
blanks in Gluon?

Since Gluon is pure Python I can try backtranslating the Python 2.5
code to Python 2.4. This requires following tool of mine:

http://www.fiber-space.de/EasyExtend/doc/Py25Lite/Py25Lite.html

The Python 2.4 source code can then be used by people like Michele who
have 2.4 lecagies. Note that the conversion process is fully automated
( it requires just a little conversion script targetting Gluon ) and
can be reiterated. The conversion however needs tests to be confirmed.
It would also be a nice little project for Py25Lite in the real-world.
