Detailed Description
http://live.gnome.org/PyBank/ will allow us to load classes and other symbols as we need them, reducing memory usage and startup time.
Benefit to Sugar
This will reduce overall memory usage and startup time of the shell and activities. Also will make easier use libraries written in languages other than Python.
Scope
Will need changes in about every sugar module, including activities, but we'll have a script that will make it easier. Not all activities need to switch at the same time.
How To Test
Run Sugar and activities as usual, notice startup is faster and check with 'free' the amount of free memory.
User Experience
The shell and activities should start much faster and you can launch more activities before systems with low memory and no swap (like the XO) become unresponsive and crash.
Dependencies
Yes, we depend on work in other GNOME projects: http://live.gnome.org/GObjectIntrospection/ and http://live.gnome.org/PyBank/ .
Contingency Plan
None necessary, revert to previous release behaviour.

Comments and Discussion
You can add categories to tie features back to real deployments/schools requesting them, for example [[Category:Features requested by School Xyz]]
