Hello,
I would like to know how hard it is to support new libraries, for example (probably far from the simplest, but would certainly be cool to have - kind) pygtk (+pygobject, etc...)
I think that pygtk/pygobject are generated mostly automatically through glib introspect scripts. If so, it would be on the easy side of a hard problem.
Could someone help in finding what would be needed to get that one(s) working ? Maybe with an approximate estimation of the difficulty of each step, or what kind of required knowledge to have.
In case it would be too early to attempt such project, a slight explanation of what are the blocking points.
That kind of information could (should ?) be added to wiki or FAQ, as a honey-pot for new contributors...
The help could simply be a pointer to the obvious documentation that I managed to miss
I think pypy/doc/rffi.txt is what you are looking for, but I could be completely off base since I have not done anything like this myself as of yet.
