I am having trouble trying to port a pygtk/python2.6/linux-fedora-14
application to use pygobject.
My first try was to convert using pygi-convert.sh, and when I ran that
converted .py, I got
File "/home/lumby/pythonapps/togglegobj_from_convert.py", line 17, in
<module>
pyGtk.require('2.0')
NameError: name 'pyGtk' is not defined
The converter had converted the line
pygtk.require('2.0')
into the
pyGtk.require('2.0')
I don't know the converter would leave calls to anything named pygtk if the
objective is to
remove all reference to pygtk. Anyway, I commented that line out and then I
got
File "/home/lumby/pythonapps/togglegobj_from_convert_plus_chg1.py", line 89,
in <module>
instance = ToggleBut()
File "/home/lumby/pythonapps/togglegobj_from_convert_plus_chg1.py", line 35,
in __init__
self.vbox = Gtk.VBox(False, 85)
TypeError: GObject.__init__() takes exactly 0 arguments (2 given)
Now I am completely baffled. The TypeError error message displays line 27
which reads
gobject.GObject.__init__(self)
but the previous line in the traceback refers to line 35, the one instantiating
self.vbox.
I've attached the original and converted files at the end.
I then turned to the examples provided by pygobject and found one that includes
gtk functions:
cairo-demo.py
so I ran that and I got
File "/usr/share/doc/pygobject2-2.21.5/examples/cairo-demo.py", line 81, in

At this point I am not confident I can get this working. Can anyone help me?
I am looking for an example of a working python app that uses pygobject to
perform
gtk functions. And/Or some definitive rules on what a python skeleton for this
looks like.
If the answer is along the lines of
"the converter, examples and doc are a bit out of date, they will be updated"
then that's fine, if someone can state that.
Cheers John Lumby
