as more than just a proof-of-concept to get pyjamas out of "a nice toy, doesn't do much, great demos, shame about real life" mode, i've created yet another git repository browser.  this one, thanks to pyjamas, obviously runs as both a desktop application and also as a web application - same source code.

pyjamasgitweb is actually two independent happily small projects.  the first is simply a JSONRPC-based git web server (in python, using python-git) and the second is a matching front-end.

the front-end is happily bare but functional.  a demo is here (please be nice to it) where you will see immediately a total lack of colour or even borders: http://pyjs.org/pygit

if anyone wants the source code, or to help contribute, it's at:
  git clone gitolite@pyjs.org:pyjamasgitweb
to start the server, read the README, install the dependencies, then do:

$ cd jsonservice $ python srv.py {path to top level of repository} & $ cd ../pyjamas $ ./build.sh # requires symlink ~/bin/pyjsbuild to sandbox $ firefox http://127.0.0.1:8000/outputJSONRPCService.html & $ python JSONRPCService.py # for the desktop version

obviously, if you just want to write your own JSONRPC client, you don't need pyjamas...
