Description Jean Bréfort 2012-01-11 14:41:09 UTC 
It even does not build. configure fails because PyGtk has not been ported to Gtk3. Looks like we need to implement gobject-introspection support in order to make things work again.
Comment 1 Morten Welinder 2012-01-11 17:58:05 UTC 
I guess we should resurrect this eventually, but it's not high
on my personal list.

That said, gobject-introspection might not be a bad idea at least for
libgsf and goffice.

From the release notes for PyGtk 2,24,0, supposedly the final release of PyGtk:

Existing authors of PyGTK applications are also recommended to port their applications to PyGObject to take advantage of new features appearing in GTK-3 and beyond. More information on PyGObject and GObject-Introspection can be found at http://live.gnome.org/PyGObject.
Comment 3 Jean Bréfort 2012-07-11 18:47:01 UTC 
This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
