Thanks so much Yusuke, your efforts in py2vnc are certainly greater than 
mine!

Yes I know it can be a fair amount to test, but if its not just 
developers using the code, its even more work for them to get it running...

but have done a few fixes and can test on Linux and Windows, I'd be 
happy to package it
My sourceforge id is davidfraser
