Why is it strange? Essentially, python bindings for any GObject-based library are now fully automatic via this gi module. No longer do we need custom bindings for each component of a glib-based library. This means even your own custom libraries, if they use gobject, can be bound dynamically to Python with no work on your part. So lots of gnome libraries are accessible this way, as well as GTK3. This does come at a cost though: since the bindings are dynamic and based on gobject types, they aren't quite as pythonic as PyGTK used to be. AT least that's what I've been told. Some of the GObject stuff leaks into the python side of things, whereas PyGTK would custom wrap them and try to wrap some types in more familiar Python versions. > OK, no problem, but isn't it very non-portable? Not inherently, no. Should work on OS X and Windows. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
