news 28 Posted December 10, 2008 hi everyone; the Python bindings for the Clutter core and integration libraries have been released. this release of the Python bindings map the Clutter 0.8 API cycle. Download is available at: http://www.clutter-project.org/sources/pyclutter/0.8/ MD5 checksums: 6aebbda8e69ea547dda11819ca913f85 pyclutter-0.8.2.tar.gz 2a57049c23337a40e8d39e7d7375a66c pyclutter-0.8.2.tar.bz2 Requirements: * GLib 2.14.0 or higher * GTK+ 2.10.0 or higher * Clutter 0.8.4 or higher * PyCairo * PyGObject 2.12.1 or higher * Python 2.4.0 or higher Optional requirements: * GStreamer >= 0.10 * PyGStreamer * GTK+ >= 2.10 * PyGTK This release is supporting the following Clutter releases: clutter-core 0.8.4 clutter-gst 0.8.0 clutter-gtk 0.8.2 clutter-cairo 0.8.0 Documentation: an incomplete API reference is available at: http://www.clutter-project.org/docs/pyclutter/stable/ Python developers are encouraged to submit patches to increase the quality and coverage of the documentation. Release notes: * Require clutter core >= 0.8.4. * PyClutter exposes most of the Clutter core API. * Use floating point values for the units-based API; this breaks applications written with PyClutter 0.8.0 and using the units variants of the clutter.Actor API. * PyClutter now exposes most of the COGL base API, including the generic Handle type, used for GL objects handles. * PyClutter now exposes the whole texture COGL API as part of the Handle class methods. * Bug 1327 - [PATCH] pyclutter ClutterListModel with multiple columns [bastian Winkler] * Bug 1326 - [PATCH] pyclutter ClutterTimeline list_markers returns [bastian Winkler] * Bug 1296 - Adding unicode_value attribute to ClutterKeyEvent [Julien Pauty] * Bug 1288 - clutter_container_raise_child's second argument should be optional [Thomas Steinacher] * Bug 1287 - clutter_event_get_device_id not available in pyclutter [Thomas Steinacher] * Bug 1337 - [PATCH] pyclutter ClutterVertex initialization [bastian Winkler] * Bug 1258 - Improvement to pyclutter documentation [Gordon Allott] * Bug 1341 - [PATCH] Override reading of attributes [bastian Winkler] IMPORTANT: The units-based API for clutter.Actor now accepts only floating point values to express the same sub-pixel precision that the C core library implements using the ClutterUnit type. This change will unfortunately break every Python application using the units-based API and currently passing values using the Python bindings for the conversion to and from units. +++ Clutter is an open source software library for creating fast, visually rich and animated graphical user interfaces. Clutter uses OpenGL or OpenGL/ES to provide hardware acceleration to user interfaces. Clutter can be used as a canvas or as a base for writing a full toolkit on both desktop and embedded devices. Clutter is portable on various platforms, being developed on Linux and tested on Windows and OSX with native ports. Clutter has integration libraries for quickly developing applications with GTK+, GStreamer and Cairo. PyClutter is the collective name for the Python bindings for the Clutter core API and integration libraries The PyClutter bindings allow you to write canvas-based applications in a Pythonic and object-oriented way, freeing you from having to care about the casting and the memory management of the original Clutter C API, and yet remaining close to its spirit. More information about Clutter is available at: http://www.clutter-project.org/ Many thanks to the contributors of PyClutter: * Thomas Steinacher * Gordon Allot Special thanks to Bastian Winkler, for the COGL bindings testing and solving the infamous linker issue on 64bit and nvidia GPUs. ciao, Emmanuele. -- Emmanuele Bassi, Intel Open Source Technology Center _______________________________________________ Share this post Link to post
