GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 669666
gnome-python-extras should be in the bindings section
Last modified: 2012-02-08 17:07:31 UTC
I would expect gnome-python-extra and gnome-python products in the bindings section.
Ahoj Michal, I remember that I was thinking about this 10 months ago when I changed Bugzilla classifications a bit. :P gnome-python is under "Deprecated" and I don't want to advertise deprecated technology so it should stay there. Same for gnome-python-extras after taking a look at what it provides: According to Bugzilla, gnome-python-extras provides: * egg: libegg bindings libegg is an incubator, however has basic introspection support in some areas (e.g. bug 605102) * gda: libgda bindings libgda has introspection support (bug 585351) * gdl: libgdl (GNOME DevTool libraries) bindings gdl has introspection support (bug 598911) * gksu: libgksu* bindings I don't care about gksu, as PolicyKit is the way to go. * gtkhtml2: bindings for gtkhtml2 gtkhtml is dead in favor of WebKit. The very last product (Evolution) will switch to WebKit for 3.6 (bug 540362) * gtkmozembed: libgtkembedmoz bindings, for embedding mozilla html renderer in pygtk apps PyGTK is dead and gtkmozembed has not seen any work for ages * gtkspell: gtkspell bindings You could file a report at http://gtkspell.sourceforge.net/ to support gobject introspection. See https://live.gnome.org/GObjectIntrospection and https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/AddGObjectIntrospectionSupport Hence I have also moved gnome-python-extras to the "Deprecated" classification. Closing as WONTFIX.
If gtkmozembed is deprecated what is the replacement? Also pygtkwebkit? I can agree that gtkhtml is not useful, anything based on that renders horribly.

See https://live.gnome.org/GObjectIntrospection > and https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/AddGObjectIntrospectionSupport There's active discussion about g-i (and gtk-3) support for GtkSpell at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3298132&group_id=7896&atid=107896
(In reply to comment #2) > If gtkmozembed is deprecated I have to correct myself (and wonder what I mixed it up with), it's not officially dead. https://wiki.mozilla.org/Gtkmozembed provides some more info. If anybody was interested it would be up to gtkmozembed to be introspectable I guess, however I wonder how many users it has...
