David,

So there actually is someone using that! Sure, go ahead.

The _sw_core_utils and _sw_app_utils calls would have been to make those modules' API available for import into the python console, but it might be cleaner if the python console could import the python bindings instead.

Please also remove the files in pycons that aren't needed and don't work with Gtk3 (pycons in particular is using pygtk and pypango instead of pygobject).
