I think best would be to add a bindable alternative that accepts 2 GClosure arguments. Then bindings can just marshall those and not try to do complex stuff with several user_datas, GDestroyNotify, etc. Plus, if we keep the supported arguments simpler, we can give better error messages when people pass an incorrect number or types of arguments. See the patch in https://bugzilla.gnome.org/review?bug=621092 for an example of how to do this. > An alternate solution is to provide some 'manual binding', i.e. binding this > function directly, not through introspection.

All the functionality in Gtk+ is supposed to be accessible through bindable APIs, so it's there where we have to fix these.

Hello Hart,
I know ctypes because I use them to wrap some xlib functionalities.
I will try this rpythonic wrapper.
Thank you for the tip,
best regards,
Giuseppe.

Re: [pygtk] gtk_clipboard_set_with_data: (skip)
Hi Giuseppe, Did you already know about the generated ctypes bindings to gtk?
It already supports "gtk_clipboard_set_with_data".
gtk_clipboard_set_with_data = _rpythonic_function_(
"gtk_clipboard_set_with_data", ctypes.c_int, [ ("clipboard",
ctypes.POINTER(_GtkClipboard)), ("targets",
ctypes.POINTER(_GtkTargetEntry)), ("n_targets", ctypes.c_uint),
("get_func",ctypes.CFUNCTYPE(ctypes.c_void_p,
ctypes.POINTER(_GtkClipboard),ctypes.POINTER(_GtkSelectionData),ctypes.c_uint,ctypes.POINTER(ctypes.c_void_p),)),
("clear_func", ctypes.CFUNCTYPE(ctypes.c_void_p,
ctypes.POINTER(_GtkClipboard),ctypes.POINTER(ctypes.c_void_p),)),
("user_data", ctypes.POINTER(ctypes.c_void_p)),] )
I know no one is interested in using gtk with a ctypes like API, that's too low
level. To make things easy and more like the original pygtk, an object
oriented API is also generated ontop of the low level ctypes API. It here's
a usage example:
import os,sys, timeif '..' not in sys.path: sys.path.append( '..' )import
rpythonicgtk = rpythonic.module( 'gtk' )assert gtkgtk.init()win =
gtk.window_new( gtk.GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL )win.set_title('hello
world')win.set_default_size( 320, 240 )def exit(*args):
gtk.main_quit()win.connect( 'destroy', exit )frame = gtk.frame_new('hello
world')win.add( frame )button = gtk.button_new_with_label("test")frame.add(
button )def callback(*args): print('python callback')button.connect( 'clicked',
callback )win.show_all()gtk.main()
The latest ctypes gtk is precached in
RPythonic/rpythonic/cache/genctypes/gtkhttp://rpythonic.googlecode.com/files/RPythonic-0.3.7.tar.bz2
by the way, there is also a precached version for gtk3.-hart

Hi Pavel,
I'm a GTK+ developer that used to work in pygtk2 and now ported the code to
pygobject introspection.
For my (GPL) application http://giuspen.com/cherrytree I absolutely need the
function gtk_clipboard_set_with_data
that I see you marhed as NON introspectable.
I wanted to ask you that function will ever be binded/what alternative should I
use instead.
Thank you and best regards,
Giuseppe.
