I use a little common sense about it. if you rarely need to call it or
use it I do the first rather than tie up more memory and try to track
yet another variable.
On the other hand something that is used more frequently it is much
better to get it once and use it many times.

Why create one when you can just import one from python.
Here is some code from our program. we recently added a custom web
browser choice if the user wishes rather than the the default web
browser that python knows about. dprint() is our utils print function
that prints to stderr if the debug flag was passed at startup.

# get the standard webbrowser module
try:

#print >>stderr, ('Module "webbrowser" not found. '

dprint(' * LOADERS: Module "webbrowser" not found. You may not be able to
open web pages.')
def load_web_page(name, prefs):

dprint("LOADERS: load_web_page(); starting browser thread")
browser = web_page(name, prefs)
browser.start()
return
def load_help_page(name, prefs):
"""Load a locale-specific help page with the default browser."""
dprint("LOADERS: load_help_page: %s" % name)
lc = prefs.globals.LANG
if not lc: lc = "en"
helpdir = os.path.join(prefs.DATA_PATH, 'help')
if os.access(os.path.join(helpdir, lc, name), os.R_OK):

[pygtk] Dynamically menus with UIManager
I've started using UIManager to handle my toolbar and menubar. The action groups and ui merging have proven to be very powerful. However, there are a few cases where I would like to have dynamic menus attached to the menubar. Examples include a history mechanism and a bookmark list. Any ideas on how I would dynamically add menu items to a menu that is generated by UIManager? Thanks.

Re: [pygtk] Re: UIManager toolbar stock image size
The image size is determined by gtk theme. There is a depricated toolbar method which sets the size. I think there are some hoops you can jump through to modify the theme settings, but I am not sure how to do that. -Chris On Tue, Aug 09, 2005 at 03:19:59PM +, Vinay Reddy wrote: > > Hi, > > I created a toolbar from using the UIManger interface.

Just round and int the return value in your signal handler. Then it's a documentation bug. The set_digits description doesn't say anything about requiring set_draw_value: The set_digits() method sets the "digits" property to the value specified by digits. The value of digits specifies the number of decimal places that are displayed in the value. The value of the adjustment is also rounded off to this number of digits, so the retrieved value matches the value the user sees.

Re: [pygtk] Glade - Best practice
Surely the second one will make your program look readable. You also
avoid making calls to get_widget repeatedly.

[pygtk] Re: closing tabs in notebook (Philippe Collet)
Hi Vinay Reddy,
Do you only want a close symbol on the right corner of the tabLabel or
furthermore the capability to close the page of the notebook when it is clicked?
If you want callback also here is the code i use:
Make sure the path for your icon file is correct. (I'm using a relative path
perhaps you will have to complete it.)
import pygtk
pygtk.require('2.0')
import gtk
def add_icon_to_button(self,button,iconFilename):
iconBox = gtk.HBox(False, 0)
image = gtk.Image()
fc=filenameChecker()
image.set_from_file(iconFilename)
image.show()
iconBox.pack_start(image, True, False, 0)
button.add(iconBox)
iconBox.show()
return
def create_custom_tab(self,text):
iconFile = "hmi\\images\\close.xpm"
#create a custom tab for notebook containing a label and a button with
picture on it
eventBox = gtk.EventBox()
tabBox = gtk.HBox(False, 2)
tabLabel = gtk.Label(text)
tabButton=gtk.Button()
tabButton.connect('clicked',self.on_tabButton_clicked)
#Add a picture on a button
self.add_icon_to_button(tabButton,iconFile)
iconBox = gtk.HBox(False, 0)
eventBox.show()
tabButton.show()
tabLabel.show()
tabBox.pack_start(tabLabel, False)
tabBox.pack_start(tabButton, False)
# needed, otherwise even calling show_all on the notebook won't
# make the hbox contents appear.
tabBox.show_all()
eventBox.add(tabBox)
return eventBox
and in your main function, just call it with :
eventBox=create_custom_tab("Hello")
#Add your_widget in the page and eventBox as tabLabel
self.notebook.append_page(your_widget,eventBox)

or
