GNOME Goal: Port your PyGTK to the new introspection-based bindings

Introduction

PyGObject uses GObjectIntrospection to get dynamic python bindings. It will replace the actual PyGTK static bindings in future releases.

Note that this GnomeGoals is very related with the one to add introspection support to your libraries. So it can be accesed from PyGObject bindings, and also JavaScript ..etc

Guidelines

Install PyGObject:
- You can follow the instructions from the PyGObject project page.
- Also, you can use jhbuild too: jhbuild build gtk+ pygobject
- Some distributions alredy have pygobject packaged, so use your package manager to install it.
Follow the instructions of this page: PyGObject/IntrospectionPorting

Tip: If you choose to work on a module, create the bug report on the GNOME bugzilla for the relevant module, and make it block GNOME bug 626218. This way people will know someone already works on it, and won't duplicate the work you're doing.
