Pure Python GObject Introspection Bindings

Project description

GObject Introspection bindings written in pure Python using ctypes and cffi (optional). API compatible with PyGObject.

License: LGPL 2.1+

Requirements:

Development Status:

See the ‘examples’ directory for working examples.

Usage

from pgi.repository import Gtk, GObject

or (preferred)

import pgi
pgi.install_as_gi()
from gi.repository import Gtk, GObject

Backends

There are two code generation backends for ctypes and cffi. You can set the preferred backend before importing modules:

import pgi
pgi.set_backend('ctypes')
pgi.set_backend('cffi')

If the backend doesn’t support an operation it will fall back to the other one.

Search paths

Typelibs will be loaded from paths in the environment variable GI_TYPELIB_PATH and /usr/lib/girepository-1.0/.

Shared libraries from paths in LD_LIBRARY_PATH and the default system search paths (see dlopen(3)).

Tests

  • ./setup.py test will run unit tests using PGI and PyGObject

  • ./setup.py test –pgi-only to skip PyGObject tests

./tests/libs/ includes additional libraries that will be used for testing if present. Call make in ./tests/libs/ to build them.
