This is an alpha release of a python binding to ggi. While using a scripting
language is too slow for making applications based on GGI (I think), it
should serve as an excellent prototyping and learning tool. One could write
the application first in python as a protype conectrating only on the design
then after you are satified that you have an good design re-write in C or
write python C extensions until performance improves.

I took the liberty of adding a few things to the GGI binding. I took
advantage of python's exception handling facilities so instead of just
passing back a flag I throw an exception, so I do the error checking 
internally. I also created a visual object. This is a pretty large class
which saves you from always carrying around a ggi_visual structure, it is
built in to the API.

=========================================================================

The ggi_wrap.doc constains the strcuture of the binding note the visual
and ggi classes that encapsulate the api.



I hope you find this library useful ...
