python-gdkpixbuf

Purpose:

A Python dynamic object module to access functions from the gdk-pixbuf image loading library.

There's currently enough functions wrapped, that it's usable for production. Not all functions are wrapped tough -- yet: the progressive image loading functions are not done.

Why:

I needed it for a professional project. I searched for it on Internet but didn't find it, so since I'm quite easy with swig now, I decided to write it !

Requirements:

Gdk-pixbuf (>= 0.8.0), Gtk+ (1.2.x), PyGtk (>= 0.6.3), Python (>= 1.5.1), Swig (>= 1.1p5).

Where:

C sources are in this tar-gzip archive: python-gdkpixbuf 0.5 (11K).

The future:

• Use Python PyCObject wrapping mechanism so that one doesn't need to free GdkPixbuf structures explicitly.
• Wrap progressive loading functions
