Hi, I'm migrating an application to Python 3, GTK+ 3 and the PyGI bindings. I'm having trouble inserting non-ASCII text to a Gtk.TextBuffer. Here's a minimal example.
#!/usr/bin/env python3 from gi.repository import Gtk text_view = Gtk.TextView() text_buffer = text_view.get_buffer() text_buffer.set_text("åäö") text_buffer.insert_at_cursor("åäö") window = Gtk.Window() window.add(text_view) window.resize(500, 500) window.show_all() window.connect("delete-event", Gtk.main_quit) Gtk.main() The 'set_text' call seems to always succeed, but the the following 'insert_at_cursor' call fails with Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_text_buffer_emit_insert: assertion `g_utf8_validate (text, len, NULL)' failed The same is true of the other 'insert_*' methods. Strangely trying to insert "åäö." instead of "åäö" doesn't give a warning, but doesn't insert the period. Is this related to the string type changes in Python 2->3? Can I expect Python 3 and non-ASCII text to work in general with PyGI? I'm using Python 3.2 and PyGObject 2.28.6 on Debian unstable/experimental. -- Osmo Salomaa <otsal...@iki.fi> _______________________________________________ pygtk mailing list pygtk@daa.com.au http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk Read the PyGTK FAQ: http://faq.pygtk.org/
