Re: [pygtk] pygtk for gtk+-2.0 snapshot
Ok This is off-topic, but any timeline about next major gtk/gnome/pygtk/pygnome release? In case anyone is interested, I have put up a snapshot of pygtk for the HEAD branch of CVS gtk+,glib and pango. You can get it at: http://www.gnome.org/~james/pygtk2-SNAP-20001030.tar.gz You will need a fairly recent version of gtk+ and glib from CVS, as it uses the GSignal code that Tim Janik checked in a week ago. I don't think it will be too difficult to add support for creating new GObject subclasses from python, and adding new signals to GObjects. As the GObject code is split off into a separate module (gobject), you may find it useful as a general purpose notification framework for non GUI apps. You will probably run into dynamic linker problems at first. It is necessary to relink the pango modules and gdk-imlib modules so that they link against the libraries they use. Alternatively, you can modify your python sources so that extension modules are loaded with the RTLD_GLOBAL flag. You can almost test out the new text widget with these bindings. The problem is with signal handlers, as the GtkTextIter arguments are not identified as such, so you only get opaque cobjects instead. You will need python 2.0 (or maybe 1.6) as some of the unicode features. When importing the gtk module, it will set the default encoding to UTF8, so you can pass unicode strings to most parts of gtk, and they will convert to UTF8 and display correctly. Thread support is disabled at present because I haven't worked out how to get things working with the GObject system. With pygtk-0.6.x, we used some hacks that relied on the global GDK lock to synchronise access to the python lock. If there are any threading gurus on the list, I could use some help working out how to get things working without the benefit of this lock. I can post some notes on the requirements to get things working if that would be helpful.

Hi James, Great work!
