Hi!

Any news on porting pygtk to python 3 ? I would be glad to help maybe
almost full-time on this. Just would be good to know current status on
this matters first.. And if none projects or initiatives were already
started on this - is to okay then to just clone git repo and start
hacking ? Any things i better do before that like to notify some
people about this or the like ?

With best regards from the Soul, Alex.

AFAIK, the expected way to support python 3.x is through
gobject-introspection generated bindings.

If you want to help pushing forward python 3 support then, IMHO, it
would be a good idea to help with the pybank and pygobject introspection
work. This last project was mentioned on the mailing list some days ago.
You should read the "[pygtk] introspection pygobject branch" thread
starting on the 13rd of october this year for more information and
pending tasks and try to contact the people working on it.

Regards, and thanks for helping,

Yes, having introspection support means we don't have to port the
existing static bindings, making the move to 3.0 (and maybe pypy?)
more doable.

Some info:

http://live.gnome.org/PyGObject
http://live.gnome.org/PyGI

All help is welcome.

Regards,

Tomeu

Thanks guys! I'll do some research on those matters and we'll see what
do we have and what to do with all of that.
