Wow, I haven't been on these forums in a while. I'm not the most experienced cross compiler, so I just stuck to reading on my iliad.

That said, true, storing the info in the xml would be a good way of doing it, info management wise, however, I found it simplest to use python's built in support for my persistence/serialization. Also, having only one file to read on loadup speeds things up rather than going through 300+ different files, sorting through whatever folders you've created.

It's also true the PyGTK is error prone on the iliad platform (back when I was hacking around). I ended up using the C/python API. Programming the gui in straight GTK and having the backend be a python script. If I remember correctly, I implemented most of the gui/functionality, maybe not the most polished... but then I ran into problems with cross compiling... another project got my attention and I dropped it.

I'll post what I have if I can find it. You guys can see if it's worth working with.
