Announcing XYZCommander 0.0.beta

Hello,
Finally I've managed to release the first beta-version of my project
on which I was working for almost two years.
XYZCommander is a console visual shell, a.k.a. file manager and it
uses urwid for rendering.

Main features:

    * Tight integration with python run-time system -- most of the
settings can be changed "on the fly" via management console.
    * Powerful configuration system -- define own actions, aliases,
internal commands, key bindings.
    * Extensible plug-in system -- even core functionality implemented
mainly using plug-ins, keeping base system small and clean.
    * Customizable look-n-feel -- every widget component look can be
changed via skins.

The project is currently in early beta state, it still lacks a lot of
features, like VFS support, readline auto-completion,
internationalization and so on. But all those features are planned for
the next releases.

Very cool.

I've added a link to your project to the Urwid Application List:

Hello Iñigo,

how long ago were you working on lfm?  If it was more than a couple 
years some of Urwid's performance issues might have been addressed.

However there are still quite a few changes required before Urwid is 
smart enough to recognize when one character has changed and not bother 
to re-render all the parent widgets of the changed widget.

Hola, Iñigo ! :)

Yup, I was aware of lfm existence, I had been examined it a bit even
before I started xyzcmd. Is it still in active development?
It might have been useful if we could join our efforts :)
Thanks for your code, anyway, I'll take a look.

Of course it's alive. And I will continue developing lfm for many years yet
