Migrate from PyGTK to PyGObject introspection-based bindings
Last modified: 2011-01-08 02:50:15 UTC
Grep'ing for pygtk-2.0 it seems that this module uses the stable bindings provided by PyGTK. As it is unlikely that anybody will continue maintaining these stable bindings, applications using PyGTK should be ported to using the dynamic Python bindings provided by PyGObject (now that PyGI has been merged into PyGObject). The feedback on migration provided by application maintainers will also help PyGObject to improve its dynamic bindings. Please see http://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/PythonIntrospectionPorting for more information and guidelines. For help there is a mailing list at http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk . For getting involved in the development of pygobject there is a mailing list at http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/python-hackers-list . There is also the #python IRC channel on irc.gimp.net. ./caribou/configure.ac: pygtk-2.0 >= $PYGTK_REQUIRED,
Are there plans to work on this? (I'd set a 3.0 target but caribou is not part of an official moduleset yet).
This is pretty much ready for master. I will probably merge this later today. Migrated to introspection and GTK3. http://git.gnome.org/browse/caribou/commit/?h=gtk3-introspection
Merged into master.
