Hello all!

Two questions:

Firstly: Would anyone other than myself appreciate a pnd of Quod Libet?
I see "spirit" had a go at making it work 6 years ago, with reasonable success.
It seems to do a good job of building a sortable index from your music collection, with a few view modes appropriate for small displays. I've been using it on my (Debian) laptop for a while now (where it uses 0.7% of a 2.2GHz amd64 CPU) and it has become my favourite media player.
There is a good set of plugins and features, support for plenty of audio formats, as well as a tidy UI.

Secondly: Would any of the porting-wizards here be willing to have a crack at pnd'ing it?
It looks (to my untrained eyes) like it should be relatively straight forward , since it uses Python, GTK and gstreamer. Up-to-date source is available under the GPL, and it already has versions for lin/osx/win.
I would be terribly grateful to anyone willing to have a go (not that there aren't already some perfectly serviceable media players available) Pretty please with sugar and sprinkles on top? :)

Ach, that's a pity :(

I imagine including a copy of GTK3 in the pnd would make it impractically huge.
Is there an older version of QL that will work with GTK2?
 
You will be abble to run it with next release of the wxPython PND (the 2.6.3). I'll package it if you want (later, after the wxpyhton is published).
