It is a fairly complete set of bindings, +it's already rather useful, and is usable to write moderately +complex programs. (see the examples directory for some examples +of the simpler programs you could write). + +If you have any enhancements or bug reports, please file them in +bugzilla at: + http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=pygobject + +If you have a patch, file the bug first and then use the "create new +attachment" link on the bug's info page. My preferred format for +patches is unified diff format (ie. diff -u). Please don't send me +diffs which don't have any context, as these make it very difficult to +see what the patch does. + +New Versions +============ + +New versions of this package can be found at: + http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/pygobject/ + + +Mailing list +============ + +pygobject share mailing list with pygtk. You can subscribe to it through +the web interface: + http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk + + +Requirements +============ + * C compiler (GCC and MSVC supported) + * Python 2.3.5 or higher + * Glib 2.22.4 or higher + * GIO 2.22.4 or higher + * GIO-unix 2.22.4 or higher + * libffi (optional) + +Copyright Information +===================== + +This software is covered by the GNU Lesser General Public Licence +(version 2.1, or if you choose, a later version). Basically just don't +say you wrote bits you didn't. + +Compilation +=========== + +PyGObject uses the standard autotools for the build infrastructure. To +build, it should be as simple as running: + + $ ./configure --prefix=<prefix where python is installed> + $ make + $ make install + +If your Python interpreter isn't in the path, or is not called +"python", you can set the PYTHON environment variable to the full path +of the interpreter: + + $ PYTHON=/prefix/bin/python + $ export PYTHON + +If configure can't find GTK+, you may need to set the PKG_CONFIG_PATH +environment variable to help it find the libraries. + +The "make install" target will generate normal and optimised bytecode +for all the .py files. + +Note. If you're installing to another prefix than the one where python +is installed you'll need to set the PYTHONPATH variable to the +$prefix/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages directory created by +the PyGObject installation. + +Tests +===== + +After having compiled and installed pygobject, you may want to test them. +There are a number of example programs available in the examples/ +subdirectory. + + +Getting Help +============ + +If you have questions about programming with PyGObject, you might want to +send a message to the mailing list (information on subscribing is +above). Alternatively, your question may be answered in the PyGTK FAQ: + + http://www.async.com.br/faq/pygtk/?req=index |
