Buncha spring chickens, the whole lot of you.  Born in '34, I was a geek 
before the word was invented.  But like some of you claim, I am now that 
old dog that doesn't learn new tricks easily.

Cheers, Gene

Yep, taught by my Dad, who has often told the story of how he once
held a whole kilobyte of memory in his hands (something like a cubic
meter in size). He introduced me to programming, to fiddling with the
system configs (actually he forbade that, for ages - because he had to
clean up the mess if the system wouldn't boot), and to the joys of
networking. So in a large way he's why I'm a geek... and actually he

That on its own probably is the biggest cause of my geekery, I think!

Hi all!
I'm trying to make a simple program that essentially do this:

correct it (i.e. it will become italy)

now this is quite simple but how can i do it properly?
i suppose i've to first generate the window and than populate it, but
where i've to put the "search for occurences" code? I don't think init()
is the right place..

Thanks MedeoTL

One simple way
Make a method to search for the next occorance & use that as button click
event.



Mmmmh, this seem good to me. But i also need to add some code in the 
__init__() of the GUI class to get the first occurence and put it in the 
text field.


Thanks for your reply, you was really helpful

For simple tasks, you don't need threads, but can use the glib-functions
timeout_add(), idle_add() etc.

You're looking here for fairly broad and general advice on GUI code
layout. Unfortunately that's so broad that all I can say is "there are
many ways to do it". :)

Back in the 1990s, I used to (mostly) treat GUI programming as
somewhat different from console programming. I'd use a window-builder,
I'd structure my code in an event loop instead of top-down imperative,
I'd use an IDE rather than simply coding in a text editor. But 1
Corinthians 13:11. These days, GUI programming is to me just
programming and calling on certain libraries/modules. There are many
ways to lay out code, and treating the GUI framework/boilerplate as
the most important is only one of them.

One thing you may want to consider is using your main thread for the
UI, and spinning off another thread to do your search. But do that
ONLY if you know you understand threads, and threading in Python.
Otherwise you'll make your life unnecessarily hard. :)

Gtk3 via Glade, anyway the problem is referred to all gui toolkit, isn't
