Some time ago, I've updated an old and unmaintained python plugin loader for Anjuta so it can use PyGI, the python gobject-introspection bindings. At that time, it needed a patched version of PyGI (to be able to implement virtual methods) and so wasn't easy to install. Now this is all over, and the git version of PyGI should work without problems (Update: PyGI 0.6.0 got released). You can find it here.

But that's not all, today, I implemented virtual methods support in Seed, and guess what, I've written another plugin loader for Anjuta, so now you can have Javascript anjuta plugins.
You'll need the patch from bug 620516. You'll also need to install gobject-introspection girs which are with the python plugin.

I didn't test them extensively, especially with multiple plugins loaded, but they should be useable. If not, report a bug .

Now you have no reason not to write Anjuta plugins (unless you prefer writing emacs lisp or vimscript rather than python and javascript). So go and write some niceties for our beloved GNOME IDE .

P.S. The vala support plugin I wrote for GSoC 2008 should be added in time for anjuta 3.0 (I just need to integrate it in the anjuta tree)

Augie Fackler released a new version of hg-git yesterday, it should be relatively stable, there are still some rough edges, but it should be useable for most day-to-day tasks.
Please test it and report any bugs you find to http://github.com/schacon/hg-git/issues
