GNOME's Meld Finally Ported To GTK+ 3

[gilboa]

The problem with the CentOS 5 machines is that they only have Python 2.4, which is just too old (in particular, it predates the modern exception handling syntax), so meld just can't run. I can install a newer Python, but then I also need to install a bunch of modules (pygtk) which in turn require newer versions of gtk and other system libraries. Easier to just stick with the older meld version until we finally get these machines upgraded to CentOS 6 (or 7, if that's available by then).

As far as I remember, I simply used virtualenv + python-pip to create a separate sandboxed python installation just for meld.
(Mind you, I hate virtualenv with passion )
