Well I did ask on gnome@ which is the maintainer of gcompris2. :-)

Thanks, I had a quick look and will have a better look tonight. libassetml
looks fine so why don't you commit it, then there is one thing less to
worry about?

I haven't seen this, but then I didn't try --without-python because there
were already so many things that requires python. I'll have a look at it
over the weekend though. Was there a reason that you wanted it without
python? From what I understand there isn't anything in gcompris using it
yet, they just added the framework for it, so that boards can be written
in python. Hmm, I also haven't tried sound yet because I first have to
locate a sound card for my kids' computer. :-)
