I guess some of you are wondering what is going on with these days, and the truth is – not much. I started out on a python port about a year ago, and was about 70-80% done when other (paid) projects distracted me. I am still busy with other projects and probably will be for a few months. This doesn’t mean I’ve forgotten all about , and I still want to get the rewrite done. So, for those thinking is dead, this is a little update on what is (not) happening.

The current state of the new is:

• Pure python
• Works with python 2 and 3
• GTK+ 3 / pygobject GUI mostly done
• Basic FTP connections and transfers working fine
• Bookmarks compatible with the old format

The missing parts:

• SSL/TLS connections (should be fairly simple)
• SSH/SFTP (will use paramiko, and hope for python 3 support soon)
• Some GUI improvements and cleanups

So.. when? I honestly don’t know. It all depends on available time and motivation, but I hope to get going on this again soon.

Any kind of help are appreciated!
