Yes, you're right. More exactly pyclutter-ng will not get wrapped around
pygobject. At first sight, it seems to be impossible to use pygobject
with ctypes pyclutter. A more experienced Ctypes bindings developer
could be helpful indeed, does anyone have feedback regarding this
topic ?

For the moment, I bind what clutter needs from gobject. 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).
