Ok, good.

On dpm.lib:
I've already made some tests, just forgot to add them in the pull
request, sorry :) In any case you are right, the library is already
outdated because of some changes in dpm internal API. Will sort this
out and make a new pull request.

What should I do with not yet implemented functionalities of the
library? Right now they just have a "pass" in them. Should I either
omit them from the code / express the omission in comments or keep
them as they are?

I see that there is some demand for the GUI. it has been downloaded
300+ times since the very first release less than a two weeks ago. I
follow a "release more, release VERY often" policy, because my stage
ends on 2011-12-07. Therefore, I push changes once or twice each day
and create releases once or twice each week. If the library is
integrated in dpm, there is a synchronization problem: I can not
release new DataDeck versions before my changes in the library are
accepted and integrated. What can we do to sort this out? If you trust
me, you can let me enter as a collaborator to dpm repository and I
won't touch anything but the library and its tests. Otherwise, I
kindly ask you to constantly keep an eye to the pull requests queue,
or I will really be slowed down. After 2011-12-07 I will not abandon
the project - I like it very much - but I will dedicate less time on
it to favor my MSc studies and thesis, I have to. I will also stress
you all less :)

Thank you so much for your help

Daniel
