13 GObject is a object system used by GTK+, GStreamer and other libraries.
14 PyGObject provides a convenient wrapper for use in Python programs when
15 accessing GObject libraries. Like the GObject library itself PyGObject
16 is licensed under the GNU LGPL, so is suitable for use in both free
17 software and proprietary applications. It is already in use in many
18 applications ranging from small single purpose scripts up to large full
19 featured applications. PyGObject now dynamically accesses any GObject
20 libraries that uses GObject Introspection. It replaces the need for
21 separate modules such as PyGTK, GIO and python-gnome to build a full
22 GNOME 3.0 application. Once new functionality is added to gobject
23 library it is instantly available as a Python API without the need for
24 intermediate Python glue.
