Since gtk-webcore uses gtk+, you probably want to be able to use it together with other gtk+ applications. That means you'd have to integrate it with PyGTK which has it's own code generator. Basic howto: * Extract API information from headers: Run h2defs.py, found in pygtk through all public headers and create a .defs file * Create an .override template Copy atk.override, remove the wrapped method, change headers adapt. * Create a *module.c Copy atkmodule.c, replace atk with the name of your module * Create autotools infrastructure configure.in, Makefile.am: Too much work to go into detail here When this is done you can get a basic version of the module working. After that you'll need to tweak the .defs file, mark some functions as constructors of some types. Override some functions which can not be auto generated, PyGTK itself is usually a good place to look for hints here. There's very little documentation out there, but it's not particularly difficult, just a bit of work. -- Johan Dahlin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Async Open Source begin:vcard fn:Johan Dahlin n:Dahlin;Johan org:Async Open Source;Development adr;quoted-printable:Jardim Macarengo;;Rua Orlando Damiano, 2212;S=C3=A3o Carlos;SP;13560-450;Brazil email;internet:[EMAIL PROTECTED] title:Software developer tel;work:+55 16 3376 0125 tel;fax:+55 16 3501 5394 tel;home:+55 16 3501 5332 tel;cell:+55 16 9112 6219 x-mozilla-html:FALSE url:http://www.async.com.br version:2.1 end:vcard ___ pygtk mailing list pygtk@daa.com.au http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk Read the PyGTK FAQ: http://www.async.com.br/faq/pygtk/

I tried both, and quickly fell in love with Pyrex, to the point I did not retry SWIG in a long time. (It might have changed, I do not know). Most likely that SWIG is easier for wrapping an existing library as is, but then, you obtain exactly the flavour of that library, which may fit Python OO more or less happily, depending of the library design. Pyrex allowed me to adjust the interfaces, improving them until they really got the Python flavour I wanted. This was probably more work overall, but the results were more satisfying, and less headaches for my users. -- François Pinard http://pinard.progiciels-bpi.ca ___ pygtk mailing list pygtk@daa.com.au http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk Read the PyGTK FAQ: http://www.async.com.br/faq/pygtk/
[pygtk] GTK+ Webcore in Python
I'm interested (if only for lesson's sake) in using GTK+ Webcore (http://gtk-webcore.sourceforge.net) in Python. To do so (as far as I've read), I must use Pyrex or SWIG. I've heard that Pyrex is probably easier to use (i.e. induces less headaches). Can anyone confirm that or suggest otherwise? If successful, I'll be interested in working on a PyGTK+ browser (again, if only for lesson's sake). While I don't think this thread would be the place to discuss the wisdom of that, I would welcome any personal emails on the topic.
