PyGObject 3.11.5 Released

[news 28]

I am pleased to announce version 3.11.5 of the Python bindings for

GObject. This is the fifth alpha release of the 3.11.x series for GNOME 3.12.

 

Notable in this release is a lots of internal refactoring and reorganizing of

modules. PyGObject has gone from building four shared libraries

(_gi.so, _gobject.so, _glib.so, and libpyglib-gi-2.0.so) down to one (_gi.so).

This eases internal code sharing and should making packaging for various

platforms a bit simpler.

About PyGObject

===============

GObject is a object system used by GTK+, GStreamer and other libraries.

 

PyGObject provides a convenient wrapper for use in Python programs when

accessing GObject libraries.

 

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 now dynamically accesses any GObject libraries that uses

GObject Introspection. It replaces the need for separate modules such as

PyGTK, GIO and python-gnome to build a full GNOME 3.0 application. Once

new functionality is added to gobject library it is instantly available

as a Python API without the need for intermediate Python glue.
