Is this still the current state of affairs? The reason I'm asking is that I've just realised I should have used Gnome-VFS for a project, it really would have made the tool a lot more useful. Seeing that Gnome 2.22 is out and that it deprecates Gnome-VFS in favour of GIO/GVFS makes me hesitant to use Gnome-VFS at this time. /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus．therning＠gmail．com http://therning.org/magnus What if I don't want to obey the laws?

Thanks for the pointers. However this turns out to be a little more
complicated than I had hoped :-(
This is what I have so far, but it prints one blank page:
def print_text(text):
p = gtk.PrintOperation()
p.connect("begin-print", begin_print)
p.connect("draw-page", draw_page)
r = p.run(gtk.PRINT_OPERATION_ACTION_PRINT_DIALOG)
print r
def begin_print(op, ctx):
op.set_n_pages(1)
def draw_page(op, ctx, page_nr):
cairo_ctx = ctx.get_cairo_context()
layout = cairo_ctx.create_layout()
layout.set_text('Some text'.decode('utf8'))
desc = pango.FontDescription("sans 28")
layout.set_font_description(desc)
cairo_ctx.move_to(30, 30)
cairo_ctx.layout_path(layout)
print_text()
Any more pointers?

[pygtk] GNOME printing in Python?

[pygtk] l10n, bind_textdomain_codeset?
I've managed to add l10n for epilicious[1], a small extension for epiphany[2] written in Python. Basically what I've done is gtk.glade.bindtextdomain(mydomain) t = gettext.translation(mydomain) _ = t.ugettext in the main file. Then I load glade files passing the domain explicitly to them. This seems to work just fine, but recently I was asked whether I need a call to gettext.bind_textdomain_codeset() in order to specify UTF-8 to be used. Do I? /M [1]: http://therning.org/magnus/computer/epilicious/ [2]: http://www.gnome.org/projects/epiphany/ -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://therning.org/magnus Software is not manufactured, it is something you write and publish.

Can I somehow "merge" two domains in glade so that plugins written
separately can manage their own localisation?
The code below will reset epiphany's localisation to English and only
the plugin's localisation follows the locale setting.

Where do you get stuck?
From the official PyGTK page (http://www.pygtk.org/) I followed the link
named "downloads". Then I went to Cedric Gustin's page for th Win32 port
(http://www.pcpm.ucl.ac.be/~gustin/win32_ports/). Then I clicked on the
link "pygtk on win32". There I found executable files that'll install
PyGTK.
Do you run into problems after that?

I got the impression that libwnck does the right thing since all the enums/flags in wnck.defs does have gtype-ids... it might be my inexperience with GTK+/GNOME that's shining through though :-) On to the next problem then (which I sent in another email as well), where do enums/flags live in the python bindings?

[pygtk] Where are enums/flags?
Now this may sound silly, but I can't find the enums/flags in wnck.

[pygtk] pygtk-codegen, enum/flags issue
There's a patch for libwnck so that it implements a method for setting
the geometry for a window (wnck_window_set_geometry() in the patch for
GNOME bug 342899[1]). In my attempts to add a python binding for this
I've run into some problems with one of the enums:
wnck.c: In function '_wrap_wnck_window_set_geometry':
wnck.c:1562: error: 'WNCK_TYPE_WINDOW_MOVERESIZEMASK' undeclared (first use in
this function)
wnck.c:1562: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
wnck.c:1562: error: for each function it appears in.)
wnck.c: In function 'pywnck_add_constants':
wnck.c:2009: error: 'WNCK_TYPE_WINDOW_MOVERESIZEMASK' undeclared (first use in
this function)
The patch is at the end of the email.
I have two questions:
1. What's the difference between enum and flags for pygtk-codegen, and
when should I use which?
2. How do i derive the gtype-id? (I seem to have done it right for
WnckWindowGravity but not for WnckWindowMoveResizeMask.)

Not really the hands on answer I was hoping for ;-) I was hoping to get

[pygtk] wnck.Window.get_geometry missing?
I can't figure out why wnck.Window.get_geometry isn't in the python
bindings.
wnck.defs contains the following
(define-method get_geometry
(of-object "WnckWindow")
(c-name "wnck_window_get_geometry")
(return-type "none")
(parameters
'("int*" "xp")
'("int*" "yp")
'("int*" "widthp")
'("int*" "heightp")
)
)
But that doesn't seem to result in the function turning up :-(
I've only tested this on Debian Sid but I can't see any reason for it to
be distro specific. The following would check if it's there:
import wnck, gtk
s = wnck.screen_get_default()
while gtk.events_pending(): gtk.main_iteration()
w = s.get_active_window()
print [f for f in dir(w) if f == 'get_geometry']
On my system that results in the printing of an empty list.
Any pointers on how to fix this (I've not managed to find any docs on
pygtk-codegen-2.0 at all) would be much appreciated.

Ah, it sure does. Thanks!
I also noticed that it's possible to get enough information to figure
out the entire configuration. Continuing on your snippet (but using
ipython of course):
In [10]: m1 = s.get_monitor_geometry(0)
In [11]: m1.x
Out[11]: 1280
In [12]: m1.y
Out[12]: 0
In [13]: m2 = s.get_monitor_geometry(1)
In [14]: m2.x
Out[14]: 0
In [15]: m2.y
Out[15]: 0
In [16]: m2.width
Out[16]: 1280
In [17]: m2.height
Out[17]: 1024
As you can see I have my first monitor to the right of my second :-)

The point of academic attacks is not exhibiting practical breaks;
the point is that only a trained cryptographer can tell whether a
given algorithm is secure or not. The author of an algorithm says: "My
cipher is secure, and trust me, I am an expert at this. And to prove
that I am a real good expert, I challenge other experts to find even
the most impractical, academic flaw in my cipher".
Just like glue. Commercial ads state that the foobar glue can stick
an elephant to the ceiling. Who needs to stick an elephant to the

strength.

[pygtk] PyORBit examples page
I've almost finished my "translation" to Python of the examples in the
ORBit Beginners Documentation (v1.6)[1]. The last one is the
multi-threaded calculator and I am not too sure how useful it'll be to
do (except for my learning :-) so I've left it for now.
I would very much like to have some feedback on it all, suggestions for
improvement are especially welcome.
Also someone sent me a private email offering some help. Unfortunately I
lost the email (I have been known to do some aggressive cleaning of my
inbox at times), I'd love it if you contacted me again.
You can find the page here:
http://magnus.therning.org/pyorbit_beg_exs.html
These are some of the things I've been pondering, any answers/comments
are welcome:
1. I had a practical problem with putting Python code on a web page (<>
got lost) and I went looking for a py2html pretty printer that
didn't create outrageous stuff (basically I want something rather
low-key, and preferably not full html pages with body-tags and all
but rather output that can be included. I found nothing and swapped
to texinfo for the moment. Anyone with a solution to the problem?
2. (This relates to the NameResolve example) I couldn't get
CORBA.ORB_init() to accept sys.argv (and hence I couldn't register a
name-service with -ORBInitRef NameService=IOR:... on the command
line. I probably made some trivial mistake. Any pointers?
3. (This relates to the Factory example) With interfaces like this:
module M {
interface IA { .. };
interface IB { IA createA(); };
};
and Python classes like this:
class myIA(M__POA):
...
class myIB(M__POA):
...
then myIB.createA() can't be naively implemented like this:
def createA(self):
return myIA()
but has to
1. create, and keep an instance of myIA alive
2. return that instance's _this()
Why is it like this? (I guess it has its positive sides to not have
the CORBA server-side representation of an object keep the instance
alive, but I can't quite see them.)
Anyone with an idea of how to kill the server-side Python instance
immediately? (I currently simply remove it from the list (the list
is the way I keep the objects alive in the first place) and garbage
collection will get around to them, can I make sure it happens
sooner?)
Well, that's it for now. Looking forward to being flooded with responses
;)

Yes, either might be the answer. I just found it really strange that
ORBit2 has some basic documentation for C but not for Python. The Python
binding really lets you get straight to the interesting part and a lot
of the details are nicely hidden away. It's a shame if people who look
at ORBit2 only they see is (documentation of) the C binding, I bet
that'll scare some people off.

[pygtk] PyORBit documentation
I hope I'm not misinformed but this is the list where PyORBit is discussed, isn't it? I have spent a bit of time trying to understand how to use ORBit2 from Python using PyORBit. However, I haven't been able to find much in the form of documentation by searching on Google. Most of what I've found is on Bonobo+Python, and it looks like that particular combination hides quite a few of the CORBA details from the programmer. That's a good thing if one want to make Bonobo objects but not if one is more interested in "bare-bone" CORBA. To add to the problems it isn't always possible to copy examples that use the OMG Python binding since PyORBit deviates slightly from it :-( Does anyone know any good documentation (besides the source)? I made an attempt[1] to "translate" the examples in ORBit Beginners Documentation[2] from C to Python. It's still not very far along. I'd love to get some comments on it (especially on the exception handling, they spend a whole lot of code on it in the C code but I have skipped it altogether). /M 1. http://magnus.therning.org/pyorbit_beg_exs.html 2. http://www.gnome.org/projects/ORBit2/orbit-docs/orbit/index.html -- Magnus Therning(OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://magnus.therning.org/ As it is used, with the average user not bothering to verify the certificates exchanged and no revocation mechanism, SSL is just simply a (very slow) Diffie-Hellman key-exchange method.
