It would help if you could be more specific about the problems of fai on
cygwin. These are probably actual problems in PyArch. Though cygwin
compatibility is not a priority for me (I have no Windows environment to
run the tests, and I do not intend to have one) I will gladly help
figure out the problem and accept fixes.

Indeed, the maintainer seems inactive.

I intended to port octopy to PyArch initially. The desire to write a gtk
equivalent to octopy was part of the original motivation behind PyArch.
I plan to put a release out as soon as possible (it will probably take a
few more months at the current pace). After that, I will welcome
improvements needed for such a project.

Sounds like a good timing, then :)

I personally use tlash, which is a horrible hack. Eventually I should
start working or Rob Weir's raw (Reusable Arch Wrapper).

xtla is a very interesting achievement, however I doubt it could teach
much about the right way to write Arch GUI applications, as it is a very
idiosyncratic emacs application.
In my opinion, Arch GUI design is still a completely open topic.
