Re: How to create a PyObject of a certain type from a gobject.GPointer?

[Laszlo Pandy <laszlok2 gmail com>]

Instead of creating a Nautilus.OperationHandle type in your Python
code, would you not want to make it so the bindings never send a
GPointer. Can't you just use the annotation: (type
NautilusOperationHandle) to have your python code receive this
instead?
