Gnome-Python 2.0.1 is now available at:
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gnome-python/2.0/
Gnome-Python provides bindings for the Gnome 2.x development platform
libraries. It builds on top of PyGTK, and includes bindings for the
following GNOME libraries:
* the GConf configuration database
* the Bonobo component system
* the Gnome-VFS file access library
* support for writing panel applets and Nautilus views
* the GtkHTML2 widget.
* the Gnome-Print print libraries.
Gnome-Python requires PyGTK, PyORBit, Python >= 2.2 and the Gnome 2.x
development platform to build.
PyGtk, Python and Gnome is usually included in your distribution, if not:
PyGTK can be found on http://www.pygtk.org/
Python can be found on http://www.python.org
Gnome libraries can be found on http://www.gnome.org
This release was only possible because of all hard work made by Gustavo
Carneiro.
Thanks to Gabor Bereczki and Matt Wilson for contributing patches.
