+		GObject is a object system used by GTK+, GStreamer and other libraries.
+		PyGObject provides a convenient wrapper for use in Python programs when
+		accessing GObject libraries. Like the GObject library itself PyGObject
+		is licensed under the GNU LGPL, so 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 up to large full
+		featured applications. PyGObject now dynamically accesses any GObject
+		libraries that uses 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.
