If you want to write a Python application for `GNOME
<https://www.gnome.org/>`__ or a Python GUI application using GTK, then
PyGObject is the way to go. For more information on specific libraries check
out the "`Python GTK 3 Tutorial
<https://python-gtk-3-tutorial.readthedocs.io>`__" and the "`Python GI API
Reference <https://lazka.github.io/pgi-docs>`__".
.. code:: python
import gi
gi.require_version("Gtk", "3.0")
from gi.repository import Gtk
window = Gtk.Window(title="Hello World")
window.show()
window.connect("destroy", Gtk.main_quit)
Gtk.main()
How does it work?

PyGObject uses `glib <https://developer.gnome.org/glib/stable/>`__, `gobject
<https://developer.gnome.org/gobject/stable/>`__, `girepository
<https://developer.gnome.org/gi/stable/>`__, `libffi
<https://sourceware.org/libffi/>`__ and other libraries to access the C
library (libgtk-3.so) in combination with the additional metadata from the
accompanying typelib file (Gtk-3.0.typelib) and dynamically provides a Python
interface based on that information.
