There isn't much to see at the moment. I am testing out the modifications
on the extension-class-branch tag for the pygtk directory on CVS. You can
view the stuff on this branch using bonsai:
http://cvs.gnome.org/bonsai/rview.cgi?rev=extension-class-branch&dir=gnome-python/pygtk&cvsroot=/cvs/gnome
Or grab a copy with:
cvs -z3 get pygtk -r extension-class-branch
Currently, the interesting stuff is in the codegen directory. There is a
working C header file parser (h2defs.py) that outputs .defs files using
Havoc's new defs file format. There is also a defs file merger
(merge.py). It takes a generated defs file, and an older version that
contains some hand modifications (ie. information that can't be deduced
from the headers, such as default values for arguments) and merges the
modifications into the new version.
I am about to start work on the code generator, which shouldn't be too
difficult -- it should be fairly similar to the old one. When this is
finished, it will hopefully be possible to create new extensions from just
a defs file (mostly autogenerated) and maybe a few hand coded functions
where the code generator couldn't handle.
I think I have sorted out the single wrapper per GtkObject problem. By
using ExtensionClass, I can do weird things like catching python object
destruction, which should help with this sort of thing. This should allow
us to have the python wrapper holding a reference to the GtkObject, and if
the wrapper is destroyed before the GtkObject, we can `rescue' the wrapper
for use if the GtkObject comes back into use within python.
This should also allow things like:
class MyButton(GtkButton):
# extra methods here ...
And have the exact same instance of MyButton passed to signal handlers,
even though there is no MyButton class in the gtk object system.
Hopefully this will reduce the number of quirks you have to know about
when programming with pygtk or gnome-python.
James.
