v3.56.3
LGPL-2.1-or-later
Python bindings for GObject-based C libraries via GObject Introspection, enabling GTK and GNOME library access from Python.
Why you might care
Bridges the gap between Python and the GNOME/GLib ecosystem without hand-written bindings for each library. Automatically generates Python APIs from GObject introspection metadata, making it a runtime dependency for any Python code using GTK, Gio, or other GObject libraries. Single source of truth: update the C library's introspection data, and Python sees the changes immediately.
