At first sight, it seems to be impossible to use pygobject with ctypes pyclutter.

It's for the proof of concept. But ctypes bindings of Gobject will probably be needed. Is it a bad thing ? not necessarily. Ctypes comes with a lot of advantages among: - bindings are not relative to a CPython version (should work with python 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 3000, etc.) - bindings are compatible with PyPy, Jython and probably other non-legacy Python interpreters. I have reason to think that PyPy will be more and more used because its perfs are very close to CPython's (or even better in some cases), so PyPy is to take in consideration. Theses points imply this initiative may interest more people out of the Clutter community (GObject community, PyPy community and so on).
