It is written entirely in Python, in +contrast to earlier X libraries for Python which were interfaces to +the C Xlib. + +This is possible to do since X client programs communicate with the X +server via the X protocol. The communication takes place over TCP/IP, +Unix sockets, DECnet or any other streaming network protocol. The C +Xlib is merely an interface to this protocol, providing functions +suitable for a C environment. |
