Re: [orca-list] Orca & GSettings

[Mike Gorse <mgorse alum wpi edu>]

Gsettings is released in glib 2.25.x, and the intention is to port 
programs to it in this development cycle.  As far as Python goes, have you 
looked at pygi?  It will presumably support g_settings implicitly, and 
it looks as though the recommendation is for projects to migrate to it 
from the old python gtk/gobject bindings.
