- http://www.pygtk.org/ redirects to 
 https://pygobject.readthedocs.io/en/latest/.
- python2 is end of life.
- there's no build file etc and the instructions in the README 
 files does not work in my setup, and I suspect it probably won't 
 work for many others too.

If you need something from a previous version of distro repo, it 
probably won't work for most people.

The server code is more or less up to date. What we need is to 
have a staging server to test changes, and a git repo in the prod 
server. I agree fixing h-client is not as important as these 
issues.
