> - what is the status of pygi (and introspection in general) with regard > to portability to Windows
I did some hacking on getting gobject-introspection to build for Windows one weekend, and I did get it to build, and I think "make check" even passed mostly, but no idea whether it actually works that well. The code in there is quite convoluted, and I am not a Python person. The handling of libraries/shared object/libtool archives is of course quite different on Windows than on ELF-based systems, with the separation between DLL and import library concepts. I guess I should get back to that some day and submit a proper diff.. As for the Python conneciton, no idea at all. In general I have the feeling that the GTK+ stack on Windows is on a downward slope. Each new release introduces new stuff that never gets fully implemented/tested for Windows, like the client-side windows. Note that I am not blaming anybody, not even myself, just stating the obvious. It might well be that GTK+ 2.16 and GLib 2.20 was the most "usable" combination there will be, until somebody gets the inspiration / resources to dig into it. --tml _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
