Hi all, as you may know, work has been going on to add gobject-introspection support to PyGObject. This would mean that we can use from python any GObject-based library that has introspection support without having to write and build specific bindings for that library. Most commonly used GObject-based libraries are already introspectable. Some references:
http://live.gnome.org/PyGObject#head-4c1435acf2c8f8e4803985c78e346399cd8775b3 http://live.gnome.org/GObjectIntrospection/ I think we are close to have the 90% of this effort complete, but then, the remaining 10% will take 90% of the time... For a description of the benefits of using dynamic bindings instead of the static ones, see here: http://blog.tomeuvizoso.net/2009/05/reducing-sugars-memory-usage.html In order to reduce my project's footprint, I'm willing to allocate enough resources to make introspection support feature complete in the immediate future, including any required work in gobject-introspection and gir-repository. But before I can commit to this, I need some clarifications from the community: - who are the PyGObject maintainers? Is the MAINTAINERS file updated? - who else can review changes to pygobject? and to pygobject/girepository? - is the goal of pygobject/girepository reasonable compatibility with existing code?
