It is written entirely in Python, in contrast to earlier X libraries for Python (the ancient X extension and the newer plxlib) which were interfaces to the C Xlib. + +This is possible to do since X client programs communicate with the X server via the X protocol. The communication takes place over TCP/IP, Unix sockets, DECnet or any other suitable streaming network protocol. The C Xlib is merely an interface to this protocol, providing functions suited for a C environment. + +There are three advantages of choosing to implement a pure Python library: + +*Integration: The library can make use of the wonderful object system in Python, providing an easy-to-use class hierarchy. +* Portability: The library will be usable on (almost) any computer which have Python installed. A C interface could be problematic to port to non-Unix systems, such as MS Windows or OpenVMS. +* Maintainability: It is much easier to develop and debug native Python modules than modules written in C. +EOF diff --git a/x11-libs/python-xlib/HISTORY b/x11-libs/python-xlib/HISTORY new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..7c1a1daa8a --- /dev/null +++ b/x11-libs/python-xlib/HISTORY @@ -0,0 +1,9 @@ +2004-12-16 Eric Sandall <eric@sandall.us> + * DEPENDS: Python renamed to python + +2004-06-25 David Braaten <xiticix47@hotmail.com> + * DETAILS, BUILD, INSTALL: converted to BUILD_API 2. + +2004-04-30 Dean Kusler <deank@unt.edu> + * DEPENDS, DETAILS, HISTORY, BUILD: created this spell + diff --git a/x11-libs/python-xlib/INSTALL b/x11-libs/python-xlib/INSTALL new file mode 100755 index 0000000000..c3a395a83c --- /dev/null +++ b/x11-libs/python-xlib/INSTALL @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +python setup.py install |
