Description Michal 'hramrach' Suchanek 2012-02-08 13:09:25 UTC
I would expect gnome-python-extra and gnome-python products in the bindings section.
Comment 1 André Klapper 2012-02-08 13:30:25 UTC
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.

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

> 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...
