Re: [pygtk] Windows installer - all in one
Quoting John Stowers john.stowers.li...@gmail.com: Agree. Personally I use 2.20, with PyGTK 2.16 (just without the xp theme) I've been using 2.20 from the opensuse build service [1], where the xp theme engine has been patched to work, but that seemed to be irrelevant to the op's question... There have been a heap of bug fixes in the xp theme that made it into gtk 2.22, so I expect the combination of PyGTK 2.22 and GTK 2.22 to be a really solid base. Yep, let's hope so :) I'm just waiting on a gtk 2.22 bundle for windows, then I will make the PyGTK 2.22 installer. That's great to know.

Re: [pygtk] Windows installer - all in one
Hi, I accidentally replied to sender yesterday, so here's the same message to the list... Quoting Stephen George steve_...@optusnet.com.au: GTK+ 2.16 is an old but in some sense more reliable branch. 2.20 is the current maintained version. Choose the one which works better for you. They question is, which one is best for the installer 2.16 or 2.20 ?, is there a preference? For starters, everything more recent than 2.16 has serious problems drawing xp themed widgets, and then there's a whole bunch of bugs/regressions introduced by the client-side windows work done in 2.18. If you don't need newer widgets, better stick with 2.16 for now... The bundles contain both run-time and developer files. Many of the developer files are relatively irrelevant. If you intend to redistribute the GTK+ run-time, you need to figure out which files you can leave out yourself. Do you think I can leave the developer files out, and just include the runtimes? If you take gtk+-bundle_2.16x, you can safely delete the following directories: include, lib, make, man, manifest, share/aclocal, share/doc, share/glib-2.0, share/gtk-2.0, share/gtk-doc, share/locale/languages-you-dont-need, share/man, share/themes/themes-you-dont-need[1], src Having never used the GTK all-in-one package before what do you do, .. unzip to a folder and then put the runtime bin directory on the path, and that's it? Correct. I don't change the system or user PATH, though. I prefer to write a small run.bat script per project, selecting the correct gtk+ runtime for that project, or to configure pydev so it includes the correct gtk version in the PATH environment variable before launch... hth, Dieter [1] I keep Deault and MS-Windows, I have no need for Emacs an Raleigh.

[pygtk] Windows installer - all in one
Hi, I'd like to ask a few questions for the all-in-one pygtk installer. Looking at gtk site on downloads http://www.gtk.org/download-windows.html GTK+ 2.16 is an old but in some sense more reliable branch. 2.20 is the current maintained version. Choose the one which works better for you. They question is, which one is best for the installer 2.16 or 2.20 ?, is there a preference? The bundles contain both run-time and developer files. Many of the developer files are relatively irrelevant. If you intend to redistribute the GTK+ run-time, you need to figure out which files you can leave out yourself. Do you think I can leave the developer files out, and just include the runtimes? Having never used the GTK all-in-one package before what do you do, .. unzip to a folder and then put the runtime bin directory on the path, and that's it?
