I learned pygtk via the tutorial and reference manual, and found most things to be pleasantly simple to do. A message dialog, for example, can be done via
dialog = gtk.MessageDialog(buttons=gtk.BUTTONS_OK_CANCEL, message_format="Test message here.") response = dialog.run() All that can be found by looking up the MessageDialog class in the reference manual, noticing that there's not much there, and looking and the documentation for its parent "Dialog" class. That may be one source of confusion you may have experiened while reading the reference manual. In general, I've found pygtk to be remarkably pythonic (for an interface to a library that has been ported to many other languages as well). For example, when using tree views, you can access the tree model underlying it using the normal python list syntax, which I think is very cool. If you have other examples of things that are confusing, post them (here, or to the pygtk list). Greg -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
