First of all, I'd like to thank Gustavo for all the great work he's done by creating/maintaining xpresser for such a long time. I'd just like to briefly discuss the top priority for development of Xpresser today, and that is the GTK3 port. Without this, Xpresser will not work natively in Precise, which could cause a lot of problems for a lot of people. So our main goal is to finish the GTK3 port of Xpresser before 12.04 LTS is released. There is already a work-in-progress for this port (thanks Gustavo!) that can be found here: https://code.launchpad.net/~niemeyer/xpresser/gtk3-port and a blueprint can be found here: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/xpresser/+spec/xpresser-gtk3-port Does anyone have any ideas/plans for the best ways to accomplish this? From what I understand from Gustavo, the issue currently is that in GTK3, there is no quick way to get a numpy array of pixels from a framebuffer, which is how Xpresser worked in GTK2 (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong!)Howdy! Interesting, I didn't expect that. How comes that GTK3 is crucial? My internal plan was the opposite - getting rid of GTK alltogether and using QT for as much as possible, because PySide seems to be very capable meanwhile. The interfacing to NumPy is no problem then, ASFAICT. cheers - Chris (name clash)Chris (wow 66% of this team is named Chris),I have no issues with going the QT route instead, if that makes more sense/is easier. Would this cause any additional dependencies? What would the switch entail? How much work would need to be done for this?
Well, I had no time yet for intensive testing, just looked through the
existing Xpresser branches, which took different routes.
It would be great if these people were on the discussion as well.
I found some follow-ups on the XPresser blog.

I hope to find time to check these things a bit more, and see which
problems are still relevant or have a good solution meanwhile.
Then there is yet another option to be tried:
PyGame
- has support for Numeric Python
- has a screen capturing available
and I think to check its usability as well, as another possible option.
cheers - chris
