I don't really understand your question. I believe you are talking about
the bug report that is about implementing the glib DOM bindings? If you
need DOM bindings you'll have to wait a bit more.

If you want to use WebKitGTK+ from Python you can do that today, using
the python-webkit package provided by your favorite distribution:

kov at abacate ~> python
Python 2.5.4 (r254:67916, Feb 17 2009, 20:16:45) 
[GCC 4.3.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import webkit
>>> webview = webkit.WebView()

And so on...

See you,
