[ANNOUNCE] PyGTK 2.15.1 - unstable

[news 28]

A new unstable development release of the Python bindings

for GTK+ has been released.

 

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

as soon as its synced correctly:

 

http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/pygtk/2.15/

 

Blurb:

 

GTK+ is a toolkit for developing graphical applications that run on

systems such as Linux, Windows and MacOS X. It provides a comprehensive set

of GUI widgets, can display Unicode bidi text. It links into the Gnome

Accessibility Framework through the ATK library.

 

PyGTK provides a convenient wrapper for the GTK+ 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 PyORBit and

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

 

Like the GTK+ library itself PyGTK 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 features applications.
