Description amit.prakash.ambasta 2014-12-06 11:26:09 UTC 
xpyb currently still depends on python2.x and does not support python3. Please provide python3 compatible bindings for libxcb.

I started porting xpyb to Python 3 for some work I have been doing.  It's working, but the patch still needs a lot of work.

The biggest outstanding problem is that I need to go through and fix up the buffer ownership issues for both Python 2 and Python 3.

The current patch leaks reply data .... and I think the original code leaks event data as well.  It's hard to tell for sure since the XCB documentation isn't overly explicit about who owns what returned memory buffers.

I'll try to clean up the patch, but am pointing you to it as a reference in case it's useful.
