Ah, thanks, that is reassuring.
Actually I meant the term "pygtk-family" to include pygobject,
since (I think) they share same home?
Anyway, would you please provide a little more detail on how I would
build and run the app? Do I specify
Gtk.require('3.0')
in the app? If not, at what point in the build/run process
does something tell something else to use GTK3 structures and libs instead of
GTK2,
given they are both installed on my system?
Does it make any difference if I use Python2 or Python3, again given they
are both on my system. And, do you have an example or building and
running?
My attempts to run my test app against GTK3 all fail with import errors, no
doubt
because I have built and installed things myself, and I find it difficult to
know what
is going on.
E.g. if I run using python (which is Python2.26) I get
ERROR:root:Could not find any typelib for Gtk
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/lumby/pythonapps/togglegobj.py", line 20, in <module>
from gi.repository import Gtk
ImportError: cannot import name Gtk
And if I run using python3 I get
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/lumby/pythonapps/togglegobj.py", line 20, in <module>
from gi.repository import Gtk
ImportError: No module named gi.repository
