Description-en: development headers for the static GObject Python bindings
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 development headers needed to build
static Python bindings relying on pygobject. Note that this is obsolete, new
libraries and applications should use the dynamic gobject-introspection
bindings (which are provided with the python-gobject package).
