I can't wait for this perfect wm to come along. Don't call it phrakwm, because I'm sick of all the window managers with 'wm' in the title. Phrakstep, maybe, although there's enough of them out there with step in the title too... maybe Phrakdows, mwahahaha!
yeah I was messing with names and came up with nothing - though the backend utility junk I'm throwing in a namespace called "phrik" - phrik and phrak... I found it funny 8( maybe I'll just call it "phrak"... *shrug*, name is unimportant at this stage 8)

I like the idea though... a Window Manager 'object' that can be used to create any number of window managers in python... I also looked at python-xlib... Thought somebody might be interested in the idea.
Yeah, I just don't think python is really up to the task of running a WM - it has the nice little habit of dying and dying hard "whoops, I fucked up - here's you stack trace"... I don't think I'd trust it... but that's just me
