GNOME Python bindings is a software package that allows developers to create applications in Python language using GNOME libraries. It aims to offer seamless integration with the GNOME desktop environment, making it easier to build intuitive, user-friendly applications.
The gnome-python package is a useful software tool that contains python bindings for GNOME. To get started with installing the package, there is a simple way to compile it. You must first navigate to the directory that contains the package's source code.
Once you have located the source code, execute the command `./configure` to configure the package for your system. If you are using `csh' on an old System V version, you might have to type `sh ./configure' instead, to prevent `csh' from executing `configure' itself. While running, `configure' prints some messages indicating which features it is checking for. Keep in mind that this might take a while.
After configuring the package, type `make' to compile it. You can opt to run the self-tests by typing `make check'. Next, type `make install' to install the programs and any data files and documentation that come with the package. In case you want to get rid of the program binaries and object files from the source code directory, you can type `make clean'. If, on the other hand, you want to remove the files that `configure' created, meaning you want to compile the package for a different type of computer, then type `make distclean'.
Although there is a `make maintainer-clean' target, it is intended primarily for the package's developers. If you choose to use it, you might have to get other programs to regenerate files that came with the distribution. In summary, the gnome-python package is a handy tool that offers python bindings for GNOME. The installation process is straightforward, beginning with the configuration of the package for your system, followed by compiling, running self-tests, and finally installing the programs, data files, and documentation.
