New pygtk and gnome-python releases

[James Henstridge <james daa com au>]

New pygtk and gnome-python releases are available, which should work 
with the recent gtk+ 1.3.13 release and gnome 2.0 desktop alpha.

This release of gnome-python depends on orbit-python (without it, only 
the canvas module will be built).  The packages are available at:
 ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/python/v1.3/pygtk-1.99.7.tar.gz
 
ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/earthquake/sources/gnome-python/gnome-python-1.99.7.tar.gz
 
ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/earthquake/sources/orbit-python/orbit-python-1.99.0.tar.gz

The pygtk release contains many bug fixes, almost working threading 
support (based on Sopwith's original patch), new examples for 
pygtk-demo, and half working support for automatically generating signal 
and property docs for the online help (doesn't quite work because of a 
python bug).  There is also a few improvements I added to the code 
generator, which allowed the bonobo bindings to integrate better with 
the orbit bindings.

The gnome-python release contains many new features (it is more than 50k 
larger than the last release).  These include bindings for libbonobo, 
libbonoboui, libgnomeui, GConf, nautilus views and panel applets.  The 
majority of this work was done by Johan Dahlin.

The orbit-python package is a port of the stable orbit-python to ORBit2. 
This porting work was also done by Johan Dahlin.

As always, report bugs at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/

James.
