It's not dead.  There isn't a huge amount happening - but there's 
certainly still support from this list, most questions that are asked 
get reasonable answers fairly quickly.  There has been a (fairly) recent 
update to standaloneBuilder, and there is work going on with the 
layoutBuilder (mostly to handle sizer-based layouts, and before that to 
support multiple component edits).

It's not been that long since new component support was added 
(Notebooks). I don't know of anyone currently adding support for any 
other widgets - but if there is one you need, tell us about it.

Even though we haven't reached the "magic" 1.0 release, the API has been 
stable for a couple of releases (and a couple of years), so it is, IMHO, 
quite reasonable to use PythonCard as a base for non-trivial projects.
