Re: Missing GObject.connect function in typelib, but present in gir

[Marko Tasic <mtasic85 gmail com>]

Thanks,

I also found out that connect is not introspectable. I'll try to use

GObject.signal_connect_closure for this purpose.

I found gjs and seed very useful, too.

There is no connect function which usable by introspection since g-i
doesn't support varargs.
You'd need to wrap that manually, look at the pygobject sources to see
how it's done and convert that to ctypes.
