PyGObject provides a wrapper for use in Python programs when accessing GObject libraries. [[GObject]] is an object system used by [[GTK]], [[GLib]], [[GIO (software)|GIO]], [[GStreamer]] and other libraries.

Like the GObject library itself, PyGObject is licensed under the [[GNU Lesser General Public License|GNU LGPL]], so it is suitable for use in both free software and proprietary applications. It is already in use in many applications ranging from small single-purpose scripts to large full-featured applications.

PyGObject can dynamically access any GObject libraries that use [[GObject Introspection]]. It replaces the need for separate modules such as PyGTK, GIO and python-gnome to build a full GNOME 3.0 application.  Once new functionality is added to GObject library it is instantly available as a Python API without the need for intermediate Python glue.

===Notable applications that use PyGObject===
PyGObject has replaced PyGTK, but it has taken a considerable amount of time for many programs to be ported. Most of the software listed here has an older version which used PyGTK.
