To have pdf2swf same behaviour implemented in python, you don't need
SWF python module
gfx is enough

I'm blank here too, maybe some day I will dig into SWF python module.

It seems to me that gfx module is far from complete, especially the PassThrough.

Sometimes ago I did a compatible implementation (and more complete, I guess)
of the gfx python module using cython.
I did it because I want to learn cython and gfx was familiar for me.

I can provide it, if you or anybody wants.
