It provides a comprehensive set of GUI widgets, can display Unicode bidi text. It links into the Gnome Accessibility Framework through the ATK library. PyGTK provides a convenient wrapper for the GTK+ library for use in Python programs, and takes care of many of the boring details such as managing memory and type casting. When combined with PyORBit and gnome-python, it can be used to write full featured Gnome applications. Like the GTK+ library itself PyGTK is licensed under the GNU LGPL, so is suitable for use in both free software and proprietary applications. It is already in use in many applications ranging from small single purpose scripts up to large full features applications. What's new in PyGTK+ 2.12 ========================= PyGTK 2.12 adds significant new functionality while maintaining source and binary compatibility with PyGTK 2.10. Highlights of new features and improvements from PyGTK 2.12 are: Tooltips GTK+ 2.12 brings a completely new tooltip implementation which allows many things that were not possible before. Tooltips can be placed on insensitive widgets and on treeviews. They can contain rich markup, or even arbitrary widgets. Interface builder support gtk.Builder can generate user interfaces from XML descriptions which are very similar to glade files. Going beyond the capabilities of libglade, gtk.Builder can also construct objects which are not widgets, such as tree models. New widgets and objects * gtk.VolumeButton, a volume control for multimedia applications * gtk.ScaleButton, the base class for gtk.VolumeButton * gtk.RecentAction, an action that represents a recent-files list Where to get more information about PyGTK ========================================= Information about PyGTK including links to documentation can be found at: http://www.pygtk.org/ Common questions: http://faq.pygtk.org/ Overview of Changes from PyGTK 2.11.0 to 2.12.0 =============================================== The GTK+ Team: Gustavo Carneiro, Johan Dahlin, John Finlay Christian Robottom Reis Special thanks to: Gian Mario Tagliaretti Paul Pogonyshev Thanks to everybody else who has contributed to PyGTK+ 2.12.0: _______________________________________________ gnome-announce-list mailing list gnome-announce-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-announce-list
