Re: [Vala] Python bindings for Vala code



Do you aim to provide a Pythonic API with this?

IE; mapping collections to Python collections (tuple, list, dict),
iterators, nested namespaces, pydocs, etc?

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 :)

 Hi,

2010/2/6 rastersoft <raster rastersoft com>:

Is possible to do Python bindings for Vala classes? This is, accessing
vala classes from Python. Yes, I know that it should be as "easy" than
doing it for a GObject class, but what I mean is if there is a tutorial
or similar, and, what's more important, how to get advantage of GObject
Introspection (which, I presume, should simplify the work).

Using gobject-introspection [1], it should actually be easier than for
a C GObject class. When compiling, pass '--gir Foo-1.0.gir' to valac
(replace Foo with your namespace), it should generate a correct gir as
of vala 0.7.10. Compile it using g-ir-compiler and install both the
gir and the compiled typelib (in ${g-i-prefix}/share/gir-1.0 and
${g-i-prefix}/lib/girepository-1.0 respectively) and you should be
able to use it from gobject-introspection aware bindings generators.
You probably want PyGI [2], it works mostly ok, with the exception of
callbacks and irtual methods.
