There are no python widgets in lazr-js.  There is javascript, css, and
what amounts to Python build tools that we use in Launchpad, not
lazr-js.  These are the Python tools we use for jslint, combing css,
etc.  I'm coordinating with Paul on these changes, and when they land
in lazr-js, I'll update Launchpad's js and css build tools to use the
new Python modules.  This amounts to adding tarballs to
download-cache, updating versions.cfg, and changing Python paths in a
few buildout templates.  Easy, peasy, and done quickly.  I can't see
how this will be very disruptive at all.

Cheers,
