The packages is also available on pypi, to install just use:
pip install python-efl


For convenience the tarballs contain both the Cython sources and generated
intermediary C sources, meaning you **do not** need Cython to compile the
bindings. Full cython sources are also publicly accessible from our git
repository at:
https://git.enlightenment.org/bindings/python/python-efl.git/

More information about the python bindings can be found at:
https://phab.enlightenment.org/w/projects/python_bindings_for_efl/

= What's New =

As always new features of EFL 1.18 have been ported and the usual has been
done in fixing bugs, optimizing speed and improve documentation.  (see
**ChangeLog** in the tarball for the full list of changes)

= Building and Dependencies =

If you have existing Python-EFL installed you may wish to uninstall them
before compiling and installing to avoid possible conflicts during install
and/or runtime.

To build the bindings you will need the following libraries:
* python (Python 2.6+/3.2+)
* efl (1.18)
* python-dbus (0.83+)

If you wish to compile using the Cython sources a required dependency is:
* cython (0.21+)


To install the bindings run:

  (sudo) python setup.py install

To generate the documentation locally you need:
* sphinx (1.1+)
* graphviz (optional)

To build the documentation:

  python setup.py build_doc

For more information on available build options see:

  python setup.py --help
