I am in the process of learning pygtk and I would like to port some custom made Tkinter widgets to pygtk, just an exercise. For instance I have this code:
. from Tkinter import * . . class AnimatedLabel(Label): . def __init__(self, master, text, width=72, maxspc=16, deltat=100, **kw): . self.text = text . self.width = width . self.maxspc = maxspc . self.deltat = deltat . self.stringvar = StringVar(master) . self.stringvar.set(text) . self.stop = False . Label.__init__(self, master, textvariable=self.stringvar, **kw) . . def startAnimation(self, spaces='', addspace=False): . if len(spaces) == 0 or len(spaces) == self.maxspc: . addspace = not addspace . if addspace: # add a space . spaces += ' ' . else: # remove a space . spaces = spaces[1:] . if not self.stop: # repeat each 100 ms changing spaces and addspace . self.stringvar.set(spaces.join(self.text).center(self.width)) . self.after(self.deltat, self.startAnimation, spaces, addspace) . . def stopAnimation(self): . self.stop = True . . . if __name__ == "__main__": . t = Tk() . t.title('Example') . t.config(background='green') . . a = AnimatedLabel(t, text="Hello", fg='blue', bg='green') . a.pack() . a.startAnimation() . t.mainloop() what's the equivalent of the .after() method in pygtk? BTW, is there any intro to pygtk thought for Tkinter users? TIA, Michele Simionato -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
