Re: [Orbit-python-list] Where are the constants?

[Gustavo J. A. M. C. <gj...@in...>]

  To answer your questions, pyorbit is the only maintained project,
right now.  However, pyorbit's maintainer, James Henstridge, is a bit
busy, lately.  If you have a problem, you better come up with a patch to
solve it, otherwise it's unlikely he will find time to solve it.
  Regarding the constants, that is a known problem with pyorbit.  You're
not doing anything wrong.  But I can offer you no more help.  Perhaps
you should file a bug report in bugzilla.gnome.org.  In the mean time,
you can just copy-paste the consts to your python source, as a
workaround.

  Good luck..
