I'm interested (if only for lesson's sake) in using GTK+ Webcore
(http://gtk-webcore.sourceforge.net) in Python. To do so (as far as
I've read), I must use Pyrex or SWIG. I've heard that Pyrex is
probably easier to use (i.e. induces less headaches). Can anyone
confirm that or suggest otherwise?
Since gtk-webcore uses gtk+, you probably want to be able to use it together
with other gtk+ applications. That means you'd have to integrate it with
PyGTK which has it's own code generator.
Basic howto:
* Extract API information from headers:
Run h2defs.py, found in pygtk through all public headers and create
a .defs file
* Create an .override template
Copy atk.override, remove the wrapped method, change headers adapt.
* Create a *module.c
Copy atkmodule.c, replace atk with the name of your module
* Create autotools infrastructure
configure.in, Makefile.am: Too much work to go into detail here
When this is done you can get a basic version of the module working.
After that you'll need to tweak the .defs file, mark some functions as
constructors of some types. Override some functions which can not be auto
generated, PyGTK itself is usually a good place to look for hints here.
There's very little documentation out there, but it's not particularly
difficult, just a bit of work.
