PyGNOME -- Python bindings for GNOME
====================================

Author: James Henstridge <james@daa.com.au>

This is a set of bindings for the GNOME libraries for use with python. To
use them, you will also need the pygtk package compiled and installed. It
can be found at either:
  ftp://ftp.daa.com.au/pub/james/python/
  ftp://ftp.python.org/pub/contrib/Graphics/

You will need a recent snap shot of gnome to compile this package (this
release of the package was written for the 0.30.1 release).

For some simple examples, look in the examples directory.

NOTE: This is a pretty early version of this package, so expect a few bugs.
  Remember that the only way that the program will get better is if you
  tell me about problems you have with it, so send in those bug reports.


Compilation and Installation
============================

To compile pygnome, you should be able just run './configure' then 'make',
and finally run 'make install' as root.  If configure fails, it is
you may have to pass some arguments to it.  To see what srguments you
might need, check the end of the output of './configure --help'.
You will probably want to use one of --with-{gnome-confif,python}.

If you get really weird configure errors, or compilation errors, I would
appreciate a bug report.

This module should work with both python 1.4 or 1.5.x, although you will
need to use the ni module with python 1.4.
