Bug#952121: O: xcffib -- This package is a Python binding for XCB (Python 2)
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
Hi,
I intend to orphan the xcffib package.
The package description is:
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.
It is used by python-cairocffi which is used by some 3D printing tool
and matplotlib. I was originally looking at it for qtile, but I have
abandoned that.
Thanks,
Iain.
