Tal Liron
PyGObject is a new approach to designing native libraries for use with Python, and indeed with almost any language under the sun, based on recent innovations in the GObject library. Tal will present the underlying mechanisms and show you, step by step, how to create such a native library in C. We'll then write the same native library in the Vala language, and discuss the implications of this exciting new language. The presentation will include a fair-and-balanced comparison to SWIG: you'll have to come to the talk to find out who wins.
This will be our Best Meeting Ever!

ChiPy is made up of people of all levels of programming and Python
knowledge. At every meeting we have had both beginning programmers,
people who are just starting to use Python, as well as experienced
Python programmers. Don't be intimidated about coming to a meeting.

Note that ChiPy is not a formal organization. We collect no dues,
elect no officers, and keep no roster. Signing up for the mailing list
carries no obligation. Nor does showing up at the meetings. Nor, at
least so far, does anything else we have done, although we always
appreciate it when our presenters show up. (They usually do!)
