Re: To take PyGTK, if it is not maintained any more



Hi,

Depending on what you are trying to accomplish, another option might be using and contributing to the PyGTK compatibility layer which is built on the actively maintained PyGObject bindings. This layer attempts to turn the latest bindings into something that works like PyGTK. See:

Hi, list.

( I actually sent same message to PyGTK maintainers directly, but no
response yet except a returned mail, so I'd also try my luck here.
Hope that this is not annoying. )

After generating some stupid noise in d-d-l [1, 2] for a memory leak
bug [3], I realize that I may need take some action rather than just
requesting help.

As mentioned in [2], I have experience with various programming
language including C and Python 2/3, have a Python 3.2 extension
project recently and know basic Git.

But honestly I'm not a PyGTK programmer (touched related stuff very
slightly in IBus project [4]), I just know some software that use
PyGTK heavily [5] is blocked by [3]. The proposed patch of [3] is
written by people behind [5].

If I understand correctly, the responsibility would be fixing/cleaning
up some old bugs, making one (if not more) point release, staying
notified for several years. I think I can take such things though no
promise beyond fixing of [3].
