'''Obsolencence note''':
this package is for use with Gtk1, which is quite old now;
Gtk2 is current and already embeds gdkpixbuf;
And the same holds for PyGtk2 (it provides a gdk-pixbuf binding).

!! Purpose
A Python dynamic object module to access functions from the
[[gdk-pixbuf -> ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/]] image loading library.

There's currently enough functions wrapped, that it's usable for production.
Not all functions are wrapped tough -- yet:
the progressive image loading functions are not done.

!! Why
I needed it for a professional project.
I searched for it on Internet but didn't find it, so since I'm quite easy with
[[swig -> http://www.swig.org/]] now, I decided to write it !

!! Download

Latest C sources are in this tar-gzip archive: [[(Attach:)python-gdkpixbuf-0.5.tar.gz]].

!!! Requirements
* Gdk-pixbuf (>= 0.8.0),
* Gtk+ (1.2.x),
* PyGtk (>= 0.6.3),
* Python (>= 1.5.1),
* Swig (>= 1.1p5).

!! The future
* Use Python PyCObject wrapping mechanism so that one doesn't need to free GdkPixbuf structures explicitly.
* Wrap progressive loading functions
