This is small nautilus bindnings for python. It requires nautilus CVS HEAD, eg it will not work with stable nautilus. If you want to test it, do this: 1) copy sample.py to $GNOME2_PREFIX/bin/nautilus-pysample-content-view 2) copy Nautilus_View_pysample.server to $GNOME2_PREFIX/lib/bonobo/servers 3) kill bonobo-activation-server 4) restart nautilus and change view. It's wise to change to a folder that's not your home folder before trying the component, if you don't nautilus will try to load the sample component everytime you start up nautilus if it crashes.
