+ GObject is a object system used by GTK+, GStreamer and other libraries.
+ PyGObject provides a convenient wrapper for use in Python programs when
+ accessing GObject libraries. Like the GObject library itself PyGObject
+ is licensed under the GNU LGPL, so is suitable for use in both free
+ software and proprietary applications. It is already in use in many
+ applications ranging from small single purpose scripts up to large full
+ featured applications. PyGObject now dynamically accesses any GObject
+ libraries that uses GObject Introspection. It replaces the need for
+ separate modules such as PyGTK, GIO and python-gnome to build a full
+ GNOME 3.0 application. Once new functionality is added to gobject
+ library it is instantly available as a Python API without the need for
+ intermediate Python glue.
