Description-en: deprecated static Python bindings for the GObject library
GObject is an abstraction layer that allows programming with an object
paradigm that is compatible with many languages. It is a part of Glib,
the core library used to build GTK+ and GNOME.
.
This package contains the static Python bindings for gobject, glib, and gio.
These are deprecated by dynamic gobject-introspection bindings (which are
provided with the python-gobject package), and should not be used in newly
written code. These static bindings just exist to provide backwards
compatibility for GNOME 2 based software.
