Python bindings based on Phonegap?

[Lester Leong]

I'm assuming those tweaks are for backend code. A Phonegap binding
would still be immensely useful because the frontend HTML5/Javascript
code would be reusable across platforms. Not to mention, they could be
re-used even in a server environment as long as the backend is
rewritten. That's still plenty of code reuse versus the standard
PyGTK/PyGame route.

I'm curious to know if anyone has written even a subset of the
Phonegap bindings. For my application, I'm looking for basic things,
mostly having to do with database calls.
