== Detailed Description ==

== Detailed Description ==

http://live.gnome.org/PyBank/ will allow us to load classes and other symbols as we need them, reducing memory usage and startup time.

Several of the Python modules we are using right now will [http://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/PythonIntrospectionPorting become deprecated] in the [http://live.gnome.org/Schedule next GNOME release]. [http://live.gnome.org/PyGObject PyGObject] has gained support for [http://live.gnome.org/GObjectIntrospection GObject Introspection], which will allow us to keep using the GNOME platform without needing static bindings.

== Benefit to Sugar ==

== Benefit to Sugar ==

This will reduce overall memory usage and startup time of the shell and activities. Also will make easier use libraries written in languages other than Python.

Sugar will continue to be packaged by distributions. Additionally, the move to dynamic bindings will reduce overall memory usage and startup time of the shell and activities. Also will make easier use libraries written in languages other than Python.

== Scope ==

Will need changes in about every sugar module, including activities, but we'll have a script that will make it easier. Not all activities need to switch at the same time.

Run Sugar and activities as ususal, notice startup is faster and check with 'free' the amount of free memory.

== Dependencies ==

Yes, we depend on work in other GNOME projects: http://live.gnome.org/GObjectIntrospection/ and http://live.gnome.org/PyBank/ .

All our dependencies that are part of the GNOME platform will need to be updated to GNOME 3.0.

== Contingency Plan ==

None necessary, revert to previous release behaviour.

None necessary, revert to previous release behaviour. We may need to fork and maintain static bindings.
