PyGTK 2.3.94
I am pleased to announce version 2.3.94 of the Python bindings
for GTK.
The new release is available from ftp ftp.gnome.org as and its mirrors as soon
as its synced correctly:
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/pygtk/2.3/pygtk-2.3.94.tar.gz
It might take a while, so you can use current CVS for now if you
can’t wait.
NOTE! This is an unstable version and should not be
included
in stable distributions.
What’s new since 2.3.93?
- bugfixes (Gustavo, Johan, John Finlay, Lorenzo)
- small enum additions for gazpacho (Johan)
- rename GMainLoop, GMainContext back to MainLoop and
MainContext
Blurb:
GTK is a toolkit for developing graphical applications that run
on POSIX systems such as Linux, Windows and MacOS X (provided that
the X server for MacOS X has been installed). It provides a
comprehensive set of GUI widgets, can display Unicode bidi text. It
links into the Gnome Accessibility Framework through the ATK
library.
PyGTK provides a convenient wrapper for the GTK library for use
in Python programs, and takes care of many of the boring details
such as managing memory and type casting. When combined with
PyORBit and gnome-python, it can be used to write full featured
Gnome applications.
Like the GTK library itself PyGTK is licensed under the GNU
LGPL, so is suitable for use in both free software and proprietary
applications. It is already in use in many applications ranging
from small single purpose scripts up to large full features
applications.
PyGTK now requires GTK >= 2.4 and Python >= 2.2 to
build.
It includes a number of changes since the last pygtk release;
We’d really appreciate testing and bug reports on this release;
please take the time out to download and test it to ensure it works
for your application[s]. Bug reports, as always, should go to
Bugzilla; check out http://pygtk.org/developer.html
and http://pygtk.org/feedback.html
for links to posting and querying bug reports for PyGTK.

libgda/libgnomedb 1.1.5
libgda/libgnomedb are a complete framewok for developing
database-oriented applications, and currently allow access to
PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, Sybase, SQLite, FireBird/Interbase, IBM
DB2, mSQL and MS SQL server, as well as MS Access and xBase files
and ODBC data sources.
libgda/libgnomedb are the base of the database support in the
GNOME Office application suite, providing database access for many
features in both Gnumeric and Abiword.
This is another development release in the road to 1.2, which
will be the next stable release, and which shows a preview of the
new features getting into the 1.2 final release. It is not intended
for production use, but by people wanting to experiment with the
new features and to help on the development. We are though trying
to have these 1.1.x series as stable as possible, so things should
not break too much 🙂
