I am pleased to announce version 2.21.0 of the Python bindings for GObject. The new release is available from ftp.gnome.org as and its mirrors as soon as its synced correctly: http://download.gnome.org/sources/pygobject/2.21/ What's new since PyGObject 2.20.0? - pygmainloop: fix use of PySignal_WakeUpFD API for nested loops (Philippe Normad, #481569) - Add capabilities to import wrappers from pygi (Simon van der Linden) - Move threads_init() function from 'gobject' to 'glib' (Paul) - Fix wrong minimum checking in float properties (Paul, #587637) - Wrap new API added in GIO 2.22 (Gian Mario) - Fix bad name when rebuilding the unix source module (Gian Mario) - Add the missing limit constants from glibconfig.h (Tomeu Vizoso, #603244) - Suppress warnings about format conversion (Simon van der Linden, #603355) - Properly define Connectable as interface type and not object type (Gian Mario) - Wrap new API added in GIO-UNIX 2.22 (Gian Mario) - Wrap g_find_program_in_path (Gian Mario, #598435) - Add pygi-external.h into Makefile SOURCES (Gian Mario) Blurb: GObject is a object system library used by GTK+ and GStreamer. PyGObject provides a convenient wrapper for the GObject library for use in Python programs, and takes care of many of the boring details such as managing memory and type casting. When combined with PyGTK, PyORBit and gnome-python, it can be used to write full featured Gnome applications. Like the GObject library itself PyGObject is licensed under the GNU LGPL, so is suitable for use in both free software and proprietary applications. It is already in use in many applications ranging from small single purpose scripts up to large full featured applications. PyGObject requires glib >= 2.22.4 and Python >= 2.3.5 to build. GIO bindings require glib >= 2.22.4. Please remember that this is an unstable release and shouldn't be used in production. cheers -- Gian Mario Tagliaretti GNOME Foundation member gianmt@gnome.org
