Re: [Vala] Python bindings for Vala code

[pancake <pancake youterm com>]

I'm developing valaswig aiming to provide swig (perl, ruby, python...)  
bindings for vala and vapi code.

It's usable, but still needs so much love. I will release 0.1 next  
month, but you can get a copy from

Hg clone http://hg.youterm.com/valaswig

If somebody is interested on it, let me know. I think dynamic Lang  
bindings for vala can be a good point :)
