This evening I experimented with removing Pylons and porting Kallithea to
TG as quickly as possible.
Most of the work has been involved in search&replace imports and properly
setup the app in a way that is compatible with existing Kallithea code.

It's not the cleanest codebase and routing is mostly hacked together, but I
have been able to have a version of Kallithea that starts, logs in and
shows the index of repositories in nearly 2 hours of work. Didn't try much
else, but I posted a screenshot on G+

I used an existing database as setup-db still needs to be ported, if you
want to have a look I pushed it to a repository on bitbucket, relavant
commit is
https://bitbucket.org/_amol_/kallithea-tg/commits/3d03249816b8e0143e4cc7f8a4d955d561bd54a6

Note that so far I haven't updated the setup.py (I'm too tired to do it now
:P) so if you want to try it you will have to try "paster serve
development.ini" and install missing modules one after the other :)
