Of course, that causes runtime type problems instead of compile-time problems, but if people are already using Python then they are already content with that. You will need to be careful - a small percentage of the get/set_*_() methods in GTK+ probably do something more than just get/setting the property.
Yes, it would need to be hand-pick. Anyway, I still need to evaluate how much space and time we save, I'll try to check it next week. -- Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri -------------------------------------- Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ#: 17249123 Skype: gsbarbieri Mobile: +55 (81) 9927 0010 Phone: +1 (347) 624 6296; [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG: 0xB640E1A2 @ wwwkeys.pgp.net _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
