CA - Thanks! That was the missing incantation: emerged dev-python/pygobject. With the proper environment variables set, it works (for me) as advertised. Huzzah! I see that you are working on the Timer thing. My installation is still importing Timer.py instead of Timer.giwebkit.py. I'll see what I can do to get dnd working. I need it for a project. I know I can get it to work within a Window, but to do dnd between apps will need some help in the infrastructure. Right now for dnd operations, the attached mouse event is a DOMMouseEvent, which does not have a dataTransfer member. I've tried recompiling with --enable-data-transfer-items, but the compiler balks (https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94496) . IMHO, the dnd implementation needs a real API, rather than expecting arcane low-level knowledge from the pyjs programmer. So, this is an FYI - DND implementation will have an API in the future. A quick patch for the current webkitgtk problem (intra-Window, anyway) would be maybe something like a dnd.getDNDEvent(event) method to wrap the event in something providing .dataTransfer in the case that the .dataTransfer attribute is not already present in the event object. - Jim Washington --
