a) why do you want to convert between the two? In my experience, when I start thinking about equating or manipulating paths, it usually means I'm actually trying to test something about the underlying model and should be converting to a TreeIter instead. b) If you're sure you need to normalise the path and that the path you start with corresponds to a position in the model, you can use things like the get_iter(path) and get_string_from_iter(iter) dance to get always get a string, otherwise, since the possible formats of a path are well defined (see the documentation for gtk.TreeView), you can easily write the trivial custom conversion function. -- Neil Muller drnlmul...@gmail.com I've got a gmail account.
