Re: [circle] giFT: circle plugin?

[darkblood]

Problem is, circle relies on relatively low-level pythonisms.  (The
protocol passes around pickeled python objects IIRC.) Makes it
very hard to re-implement in a non-python manner.  Unless giFT talks well
to python plugins, then I suspect that it'd be easier to write a giFT
gateway that the circle talks to.

Then again, it's been a while since I looked at the code.  Maybe Jiri or
Nathan will know better...
