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.

 

cheers
