[OpenIndiana-discuss] python-gi in OI?

[Till Wegmueller]

Hi Tony

Yeah you may end up running a VM. You will probably run into a huge 
amount of dependencies that are libvirt and the other C based libraries 
that build that framework. There are many in the libvirt tools. And I 
don't think we ever planned to build them or that they are easily ported.
