[pygtk] ANNOUNCE: PyGObject 2.15.2

Recommended Posts

I am pleased to announce version 2.15.2 of the Python bindings for GObject.

 

The new release is available from ftp.gnome.org as and its mirrors

as soon as its synced correctly:

 

http://download.gnome.org/sources/pygobject/2.15/

 

What's new since PyGObject 2.15.2?

2.15.2 26-jul-2008

- New module: glib, which contains the parts of the old

gobject bindings which are in the glib library.

MainLoop/MainContext/Sources/GOption and a few others has now

moved.

- Add a new installed library libpyglib-2.0, which contains the

extension API for third-part modules instead of relying on macros

which accesses struct fields.

- Add bindings for gio.File.enumerate_children_async,

gio.FileEnumerator.next_files_async, gio.Mount.mount,

gio.File.mount_mountable, gio.File.mount_enclosing_volume,

gio.File.unmount_mountable, gio.File.copy.

- Add a new api for mapping a GError domain to an exception and

register an exception for GIOError.

- Remove leading IO_* prefix for the gio flags and register a quark

for the domain.

- Use GSlice in the glib module and bump required version to 2.14.

 

Blurb:

 

GObject is a object system library used by GTK+ and GStreamer.

 

PyGObject provides a convenient wrapper for the GObject+ library for use

in Python programs, and takes care of many of the boring details such as

managing memory and type casting. When combined with PyGTK, PyORBit and

gnome-python, it can be used to write full featured Gnome applications.

 

Like the GObject library itself PyGObject is licensed under the

GNU LGPL, so is suitable for use in both free software and proprietary

applications. It is already in use in many applications ranging

from small single purpose scripts up to large full

featured applications.

 

PyGObject requires glib >= 2.14.0 and Python >= 2.3.5 to build.

GIO bindings require glib >= 2.16.0.
