Hi all, It is my pleasure to bring to the world the first release of PyGi - the Python GObject Introspection bindings - version 0.5. We chose the number 0.5 to indicate that we believe PyGi to be of beta quality. We want to encourage the brave souls of the world to try it out and help us by reporting any bugs that are found.
PyGi is nearly feature complete. A highly condensed list of features: - Implements in and out arguments of all types - Implements closures, callbacks and virtual functions - Implements wrapping of structs, objects and interfaces. A huge thank you is due to several people for making this happen. - Simon van der Linden, for all of his hard work on PyBank/PyGi. - Tomeu Vizoso for all of his hard work on PyGi throughout the past months/years - John (J5) Palmieri, Colin Walters, Johan Dahlin and others for assistance, contributions and help along the way, - All of the great folks who participated in the Gnome/Python 2010 hackfest who made this release possible (including generous support from Red Hat, Canonical and OLPC) Version 0.6 of PyGI is likely to include: - Python 3.1 support (already 95% working! Thanks David Malcom and John Ehresman!) - A major refactoring of some of the thickest parts of the code - Much improved documentation - Improved compatibility with older bindings PyGi 0.5 is available for download here: http://ftp.gnome.org/Public/gnome/sources/pygi/0.5/pygi-0.5.tar.gz You can find the PyGi website/wiki: http://live.gnome.org/PyGI And the public git repo at: git://git.gnome.org/pygi Bug tracking is done in project pygi on bugzilla.gnome.org. Cheers, -Zach Goldberg PyGi Maintainers: Simon van der Linden Tomeu Vizoso Zach Goldberg Git Shortlog: Alex Dedul (1): Search for python-config-${VERSION} when python${VERSION}-config is not found Anderson Lizardo (1): Depend on GLib 2.20 rather than 2.22 Colin Walters (2): [Makefile.am] Clean up CFLAGS handling, don't override all: target Add Tomeu's prototype script for converting pygtk to pygi Johan Dahlin (3): Create overridden modules in two passes Remove trailing whitespace Pythonify. Avoid ; and () around if statements John (J5) Palmieri (1): override that wasn't checked in - fixes some test cases Olav Vitters (1): Fix doap file Simon van der Linden (18): Initial import Add PyGObject patches Add a doap file Update PyGObject patches Remove PyGObject patches since they've been merged to master Fix silent rules setup Import pygtk properly to avoid failure on some setups Use the right variable when looking up in sys.modules Fix members initialization in metaclasses Remove global checks for pointers and move them in type cases that need them sys.path must be modified after pygtk is imported Suppress compilation warnings Don't set a default constructor for structures. Initialize struct fields to 0 when allocating Restore the overrides support Remove support for pointers to basic types as input-only argument and return value Fix and complete overrides tests Add modelines and copyright information to overrides modules Tomeu Vizoso (28): Add myself to pygi.doap Treat GI_INFO_TYPE_INTERFACE same as GI_INFO_TYPE_OBJECT Register interfaces Add support for Any arguments Add stuff to .gitignore Accept 0 as a valid value for flag and enum arguments Structs in arrays are not marshalled correctly A few tests about interfaces Use the limit constants from glib and interpret G_MAXUINT32 as PyLong_FromLongLong Revert "Use the limit constants from glib and interpret G_MAXUINT32 as PyLong_FromLongLong" Set a default constructor for boxed structs that don't have one Use the limit constants from glib and interpret G_MAXUINT32 as PyLong_FromLongLong The array field 'length' starts to count from the C arg list, so need to decrement when it's a method Add Gtk.keysyms to overrides Always create the .so link Use GIMarshallingTests (old TestGI) in gobject-introspection Add metadata to the .doap file Add gdb and valgrind variants for the tests Allow creating structs with pointers Add support for foreign structs Add examples/cairo-demo.py Require PyCairo Update to latest version of the pygi-convert.sh script Implement vfuncs. Add missing file to tarballs Add one more missing file to tarballs Add more stuff to the tarballs One more missing file... Zach Goldberg (6): Implementation callback support with scoping and basic argument support. Add Zach Goldberg as a pygi maintainer Move some tests from test_gi to test_everything Implement nullable argument support, including tests Fix a typo in pygi-callbacks.c header Bump version for release 0.5.0 _______________________________________________ pygtk mailing list pygtk@daa.com.au http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk Read the PyGTK FAQ: http://faq.pygtk.org/
