Thank you Emmanuele and Stefan for your answers, Gtk+ - General mailing list wrote > Have you considered using the GObject introspection data that GTK itself > generates, instead of your custom parsing code? Yes, but a long time ago in the first year of the project. In this Dec. 2011 post: https://github.com/vmagnin/gtk-fortran/issues/27 My thoughts were: >But in that case, there is no "c:identifier" attribute in the tag (how to identify a pointer ?) > >Advantages: > - parsing XML is easier than using regular expressions which must take > into account many exceptions and peculiarities. > - The binding would be more complete (to what extent ?). >Drawbacks: > - GIR format is not well documented. > - Cairo is not (yet ?) supported.

Or would it be more adequate to > improve cfwrapper.py ? Note that it was how I see things at that time. I don't know if my feeling was right (I was a total beginner with GTK), and I don't know how things have changed since that time. It is still a possibility that could be interesting in the long term. It would surely be cleaner than parsing with regular expressions.

And I have not seen the announcement. I will look at https://discourse.gnome.org/.
