I’ve recently been playing with pygobject and gobject-introspection. There’s currently a GSoC project for this, Simon Van Der Linden is working on this, and I must say, progressing fast!

The whole team is firing up to cook an Elisa release candidate for tomorrow and final release should happen end of next week. What’s new? The plugin management framework entered …
