This package is intended to be a (mostly) drop-in replacement for xpyb. xpyb has an inactive upstream, several memory leaks, is python2 only and doesn't have pypy support. xcffib is a binding which uses python-cffi, which mitigates some of the issues described above. xcffib also builds bindings for 27 of the 29 (xprint and xkb are missing) X extensions in 1.10.

This package installs the library for Python 2.
