It uses ctypes and optionally cffi to wrap GObject libraries without requiring compiled C extensions, supporting CPython 2.7, CPython 3.3+, PyPy 1.9+, and PyPy3 2.3+.\n\nThe package is explicitly pre-alpha and incomplete\u2014the description warns that most features beyond the working examples are unsupported. It requires libgirepository 1.0 as a system dependency and loads type information from standard GObject paths. The latest release was 2018-06-25, though the repository remains active.","worth_installing":"No, not recommended for production use. The package is pre-alpha with explicit warnings that most features are unimplemented, has not been released since 2018, and requires system-level GObject dependencies that add friction. Use only if you have a specific need for pure Python implementation or PyPy compatibility and are prepared to work within its documented limitations."},"id":"pgi","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pgi","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pgi.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pgi/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2018-06-25","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"pgi","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Pure Python GObject Introspection Bindings"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":94784,"position":13304,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.0.11.2"}
