Description : A drop in replacement for xpyb
xcffib 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 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.
xcffib is also used as a dependency for Qtile 0.9.0, which has an RFP as bug
762637.
