This is fantastic. This is surely a quicker way to build and maintainer python wrappers around C apis. However, what do you think are the pros and cons of using gobject-introspection or pybank wrt building apps using python? Cheers Hi Johan. This is fantastic. This is surely a quicker way to build and maintainer python wrappers around C apis.

However, what do you think are the pros and cons of using gobject-introspection or pybank wrt building apps using python?

Cheers

I'll post an upcoming post when I need external help Raphael: Not all languages are able to do this in runtime. However Ruby and Perl should be one of them. Java/C#/C++/Vala etc won't. Henrique: Firefox is rendering forms as gtk widgets in 3.0 too.

Instant python-bindings for all glib-based libraries? /Un/credible! And this would also work for Ruby and other scripted programming languages? I'm blown away. That’s amazing.
