Speaker
Description
In December 2022, Emmanuele Bassi wrote a blog post as a call to arms to fix the undermaintained state of PyGObject and make improvements in a few key areas like fundamental types, constructing and disposing objects, and documentation.
Since then, Arjan Molenaar and I joined Christoph Reiter as maintainers. Although there is still a lot of work to do, the state of Python in GNOME has improved. This talk will provide an overview of:
- The challenges of building up a GNOME community around an undermaintained project.
- The exciting recent improvements to GNOME Python.
- Where things are headed next and how others can help get involved.
