Python and gobject-introspection

ReInteract is a nice tool, I thought it could be a good idea to make a Pigment extension for it.

Repgm allows the reinteract user to integrate a Pigment canvas inside Reinteract, as shown in the screenshot below:

I’d have a made a screencast but my laptop would have …
