I agree it is confusing, does adding the version suffix to PyGObject help any? I would honestly wouldn't mind if we renamed the project to PyGI. I don't know if it helps in terms of being less confusing for people trying to figure this stuff out, but I think it is a nicer looking name without the baggage. Furthermore, it matches the functionality and Python package name being provided. > I don't have a very useful suggestion, but to elaborate on the relationship > on both websites. That's probably a good start. Does anyone know who owns pygtk.org and how we can edit it? -Simon _______________________________________________ python-hackers-list mailing list python-hackers-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/python-hackers-list
