Description: #
PyGObject provides a convenient wrapper for the GObject+ library for use in Python programs, and takes care of many of the boring details such as managing memory and type casting. When combined with PyGTK, PyORBit and gnome-python, it can be used to write full featured Gnome applications.

graphics/py-pycairo: rename and update to 1.29.0

Changelog: https://pycairo.readthedocs.io/en/latest/changelog.html#v1-29-0

Notably, experimental support for free-threaded Python (3.13t, soon 3.14t)

Port and PKGNAME renamed to match Python package metadata, and to
properly build with USE_PYTHON=pep517. Test suite also now exposed.
Remove PORTSCOUT since this does not follow the even-odd version
split.

devel/py-pygobject: rename and update to 3.50.0

The proper upstream Python package name is pygobject; version 2
hasn't existed or been supported in ages, so rename.

Rework the port to where -common is the child port but the main
port depends on it for the header files. Build the main port as a
Python wheel USE_PYTHON=pep517 to take advantage of USE_PYTHON=autoplist.

Direct -common consumers have PORTREVISION bumped.
