ANNOUNCE: PyXPCOM - Python bindings for Mozilla XPCOM technology

[Mark Hammond]

ActiveState is pleased to announce the first release of the Python
bindings for the Mozilla XPCOM (Cross-Platform COM) technology.

These bindings provide a Python package that allows a Python programmer
to use or implement any IDL specified XPCOM interface.  General
information on the Mozilla XPCOM technology can be found at
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/xpcom/

Although this is the first public release of these extensions, they are
being used extensively in the Komodo project, ActiveState's cross-
platform, multilanguage IDE based on Mozilla.  Thus the functionality
and stability of this package is remarkably high for a first release.

The current release should build under Windows and most Linux variants.
Although a manual build system is currently used, the intention is to
integrate the PyXPCOM build process with the Mozilla CVS tree and build
process.  Thus, in the future we can expect these extensions to work
anywhere Mozilla itself does.

This package was developed by ActiveState, and is being released under
the Mozilla Public Licence (MPL).  The source code (in .tar.gz and .zip
form) can be downloaded from
http://www.ActiveState.com/Products/Komodo/PYXPCOM

ActiveState is maintaining a mailing list for the Python XPCOM package.
All queries, comments and suggestions should be made via this mailing
list rather than in the forums where this announcement has been posted.
