Comment:

 cjb, I'm assigning you this bug. It would be great if you could let me
 know what version of gtksourceview2 you're working from, and where you get
 it, so I could find a workaround for myself. Quick googling gives me some
 changelogs which let me fix the initial problem with list_languages, but
 it seems there are broader changes to the API (AttributeError:
 'gtksourceview2.Buffer' object has no attribute 'set_highlight' on line
 120).

 I could fix it for my version of gtksourceview2, of course. But
 eventually, in my version, I want to move the gtksourceview2 functionality
 into Python, in order to integrate it with my planned translation
 functions (basing the source code highlighting on IDLE). So I'd rather
 start from an unmodified, working Pippy. Of course, if you were planning
 on moving to the new gtksourceview2 API anyway, that would be great for me
 for now (long term solution is still rolling it into Pippy or the basic
 build, though).

 I'm the guy working on Develop, and, as suggested on the mailing list, I'm
 going to start by branching Pippy and just putting a file-browsing
 treeview on the side instead of a simple list. Cheers!
