Gtk4 documentation for Python

If you’re looking for the GTK4 API reference for Python, then you want:

Of course, you have to remember two things—which also apply to the GTK3 API reference available in its original place:

  1. the pygobject API reference is generated from the same source as the C API reference, with some massaging of the content, but it won’t change the embedded examples
  2. the pygobject API reference may not match the latest version of GTK available, because it’s generated on a separate container and does not use the same introspection data provided by the GNOME SDK

In general, it would be great if somebody contributed some time to get the pygobject API references built against the introspection data of the GNOME SDK, instead of using a base Linux distro. Additionally, it would be great if more people contributed documentation for Python devs. The tutorials on the GNOME Developers documentation website have examples available in Python, for instance.

That’s why I asked what kind of documentation you’re looking for; if it’s tutorials that you are missing, then specifying what kind of tutorials you need would help people writing the docs. Staying vague isn’t going to make content magically appear.
