Gobject is an abstraction layer that allows programming with an object paradigm that is compatible with many languages. it is a part of glib, the core library used to build gtk+ and gnome.

this package contains the static python bindings for gobject, glib, and gio. these are deprecated by dynamic gobject-introspection bindings (which are provided with the python-gobject package), and should not be used in newly written code. these static bindings just exist to provide backwards compatibility for gnome 2 based software.

this package contains the extensions built for the python debug interpreter.
