what happens if you connect to the textview rather than the eventbox (self.ev)?
eventboxes are only needed for those widgets (like images, iirc) that don't
receive their own events. a textview isn't one of those, i think.

[pygtk] Python/C and ref-counting

But the result from PyString_FromString is properly ref-counted, right? Also, if I do PyArg_ParseTuple(first, "sO:", &keystring, &handler) then I don't have to manually free keystring or Py_XDECREF handler, but to refer to the string data later, I should g_strdup (and later free my dup), right?

[pygtk] Python/C and Gtk threading
I have written a Python binding [1] to Tomboy's global keybinding code
(written in C). And it all works fine. Mostly.
If my python app calls
gtk.gdk.threads_init()
earlier, however, then it segfaults somewhere in the PyEval_CallObject
of:
void handler_c_func (char *keystring, gpointer user_data)
{
Handler_and_Args *ha = (Handler_and_Args *) user_data;
PyObject *result = PyEval_CallObject(ha->handler, ha->args);
if (result == NULL) {
if (PyErr_Occurred()) {
PyErr_Print();
}
} else {
Py_DECREF(result);
}
}
If I add gdk_threads_enter() and gdk_threads_leave() just before and
after the "PyObject *result = ..." line, then it doesn't segfault, but
just blocks at the gdk_threads_enter. I tried messing around with
Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS, and alternatively having handler_c_func calling
g_idle_add, but both of those didn't seem to work.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,

url_show takes 1 argument, but the callback from
about_dialog_set_url_hook should take 3. Thus, 3 args are being fed to
url_hook, which only takes one. Thus, your error message.
Working version:
=
#!/usr/bin/env python
import gtk
from gnome import url_show
dialog = gtk.AboutDialog()
def foo(dialog, arg2, arg3):
print dialog
print arg2
print arg3
#url_show(arg2)
gtk.about_dialog_set_url_hook(foo, "arg3")
dialog.set_website("arg2")
dialog.set_website_label("http://www.google.com";)
dialog.show_all()
gtk.main()
=
Or, since arg3 is optional, you can do something like
=
gtk.about_dialog_set_url_hook(lambda dialog, url: url_show(url))
dialog.set_website("http://www.google.com";)
dialog.set_website_label("http://www.google.com";)

[pygtk] panel_applet_request_focus() not bound?
Due to focus related changes to gnome-panel for 2.10, a new API - panel_applet_request_focus() was introduced [1].

I also downloaded the gnome-python-extras tarball and in it I did a grep -R equest_foc * which came up empty, but I am not sure if that's the right way to try to find API - I'm not sure how the gnome-python[-extras] source works.

[pygtk] How to debug whilst logging off
I'm developing a Gnome Applet in python, and somewhere along the line I've tickled a bug somewhere that's causing crashes. Not regular crashes, but crashes only when I log out of Gnome. Something, somewhere along the line is broken - but it's hard to debug because I can only trigger it by logging out. Adding applet instances, removing them, moving them around, playing with the UI doesn't cause crashes - only logging out. Yes, it's weird. The actual crash is that I get a message box that says something like "The program 'deskbar-applet' has stopped unexpectedly" or something like that - I can't remember the exact wording off the top of my head. And sometimes (but not always!) it brings up two boxes - one with the above message and another similar one with "multi-load applet" in place of "deskbar-applet". (Deskbar-applet is the one I'm developing, Multi- Load is just another applet that happens to hang out on my panel). Now, I can predictably and repeatedly trigger the bug. But if, at a certain place in the code (a constructor), I add the following: - # wait for 0.1 seconds import time time_to_wait_until = time.time() + 0.1 while time.time() < time_to_wait_until: pass - then there are no crashes. So, even weirder, something out there is time-dependent or not properly multi-threaded or something. Anyway, after having said all that, what I would like to know is: 1) Does this look familiar to anyone? Any suggestions on what's going on? and 2) Any suggestions on how to debug an applet bug which I can only tickle by logging off? How can I get some sort of stack trace or log or anything useful? Right now I'm just guessing, coding, and hoping. thanks, Nigel.

Re: [pygtk] problem with applet's menu
> I've created my first applet, ...
> [there are some problems]
Actually, on a second reading, I think I know what
you're talking about.
I suspect that the button is swallowing mouse press
events, and so right-click goes to the button rather
than the applet (which would bring up the menu).
What you want is for left-mouse-click to go the
button, but right-mouse-click to propagate.
The relevant code (from my applet I referred to
previously, replacing "button" with "menubar")
would look like:
---
# when constructing GUI elements
btn.connect("button-press-event", on_btn_click)
# a separate method definition
def on_btn_click(widget, event):
# allow Middle- and Right-Mouse-Button to
# go through to the applet window
# 1 stands for Left-Mouse-Button
if event.button != 1:
widget.emit_stop_by_name("button-press-event")
return gtk.FALSE

Yeah, I was a little surprised that this actually worked too, but for a
different reason. My concern was that trying to set the style of a
GtkMenuBar would affect all other GtkMenuBars running, but the menus in
all the other applications seem unaffected, so I shrugged and left it as
it was.

In this case, should MyMenuBar subclass GtkMenuBar? Does that

This didn't work for me - I tried calling it on the menubar, the menu,

Version 0.2 now supports Epiphany and Mozilla, as

pick up the preferred browser - I presume that that
is The Right Way To Do It. Someone let me know if
there is a Gnome API that is recommended instead.

Thanks to all for help with the border (shadow)
style on the menubar. A remaining minor cosmetic
quibble is that when my applet has focus it has a
blue (with the Glider theme) rectangle around the
menu. Again - the Gnome main menu ("Applications
Actions") does not - it does not seem to be able to
receive focus (!?). Any suggestions?
Next on the TODO list are packaging and installation

[pygtk] Browser Bookmarks Menu (Gnome Applet) 0.1
This is mostly an announcement, but it's also 1) my first foray into GNOME hacking and 2) only my second foray into Python, and I am hoping for a little help, or some general feedback. Gnome has an Applications menu, and an Actions menu. I wrote a Bookmarks menu, to get to my browser's bookmarks. This idea seems to have been tried before (see RELATED WORK section below), but various similar projects appear out-of-date or incomplete. A screenshot is worth a thousand words, and is at http://browserbookapp.sourceforge.net/screenshot-0.1.png Source code (GPL) is at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=122136&package_id=133931&release_id=278276 CAVEATS --- Right now it only reads Firefox bookmarks. Support for Epiphany and Mozilla is planned. HELP! (AKA GNOME API AND OTHER QUESTIONS) -- The menu (or applet?) has a border around it, but the gnome main menu applet "Applications Actions menu" does not. The screenshot shows this (see the vertical bars to the left and right of the blue "Bookmarks" menu). How do I get rid of the border? I'm not fluent in [auto]make or RPM .spec files, and would appreciate some help. I found the pygnome-hello example and am looking at that, but it isn't a panel applet, so I am not entirely sure how to adapt it to: 1) install my .server file into the right place (/usr/lib/bonobo/server in general, but .../lib64/... on x86_64). 2) restart whatever needs to be restarted (gnome-panel?? bonobo-activation-server??) on installation for it to show up in the "Add to Applet" option in the panel context menu. Also, any leads on writing a .spec file or packaging a python gnome-applet as an RPM? I am completely lost in figuring out what the dependencies are - I presume gnome-panel, gnome-python2 and gnome-python2-applet - but how do I find out what else (and what versions) my software depends on? And is the gnome-python / gnome-python-applet distinction a distribution-specific thing? RELATED WORK An old (1999) mailing list post talks about creating a Netscape Bookmarks sub-menu of the foot menu (http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-devel-list/1999-September/msg00024.html) - Miguel de Icaza replied that "it seems a very good idea", but I don't know where it went from there. PyGnome 1.4 had a Netscape bookmarks applet (pygnome/examples/bookmarks-applet.py), but this seems to have been dropped in more recent versions of gnome-python. Gnome Bookmarks Organizer (gnobog) at http://www.nongnu.org/gnobog/ is slightly different (it has its own frame rather than being a panel applet) and looks like it's been superseded by Firefox's Bookmarks sidebar. The Nautilus-Menu applet (http://bitpoetry.com/programs/nautilusmenu/) and bookmark-applet (http://gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=278) look pretty similar, but they provide access to GTK file-chooser bookmarks (local files), not provide access to the browser bookmarks (URLs). cheers, Nigel. ___ pygtk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk Read the PyGTK FAQ: http://www.async.com.br/faq/pygtk/
