Sorry, I was unaware of that branch.  What about adding some information
about the gnulib-tool.py development process in a "README-hacking" file?

Since there is no "gnulib-tool.py" nor unit tests for the pygnulib
module in that branch how are you working on it? with the REPL?  Am I
overlooking something?

I would be happy to get involved in this development which will a good
excuse for improving my Python skills.

Given that the "python" branch seems like a full rewrite of the pygnulib
module, there is not much interest in applying my patch.

Thanks.
