GLiv
Best viewer...
I have never seen a cooler image viewer anywhere. Is a bit faster than even qiv, my previous favorite, and the navigation and zooming is great (especially for reading manga scans :)It doesn't have a fancy gui interface, but it really doesn't need it.

PythonTheater
I took a brief look at Python code and started playing around and wrote an mpeg/avi player in Python. PythonTheater started out as a little toy to see what I could do, but quickly got really good and I released it. Python has a really good syntax, really lends itself to OO programming. Also, it has a fantastic C API for developing glue between C/C++ and Python code, or simply implementing perfomance modules in the midst of python code. I think the best thing that ever happened to GTK was PyGTK, that API is *far* more intuitive and quick to write in than GTK in C or GTK--- in C++, more on the level of Java Swing. If one could settle on a cross-platform Python GUI, Python would be on the level of Java for cross-platform development. Perl is nice and all, but the syntax can get really ugly, especially if multiple coders with different styles work on a single codebase. Also, Perl lends itself more to structured programming than OO programming. In short, I see Python as a good language for general-purpose programming, while Perl works really well in string processing applications (i.e. web form prcessing, log analyzers, etc..). So for most apps, Python, for a lot of CGI work, Perl :)
