Description-en: This package is a python binding for XCB (Python 2)
This package is intended to be a (mostly) drop-in replacement for xpyb. xpyb
has an inactive upstream, several memory leaks, is python2 only and doesn't
have pypy support. xcffib is a binding which uses python-cffi, which mitigates
some of the issues described above. xcffib also builds bindings for 27 of the
29 (xprint and xkb are missing) X extensions in 1.10.
.
This package installs the library for Python 2.
