If all goes to plan, gladeVCP should work with either gtk2 or gtk3. by using techniques from here: https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/PyGObject/IntrospectionPorting gladevcp should be able to use the available library at run time. I've had my work display GTK3 widgets made from GLADE-gtk2, though this is not the final goal. At one point I did have the project able to display a subset of widgets in GTK3 or GTK2 at run time, but that may be broken at the moment. I was concentrating on getting the GTK3 widgets working, then would go back and 'repair' them for GTK2. For Gremlin, the idea is at run time use either gremlin if using GTK2 or this new pyopengl display widget if GTK3. This means the GTK3 widget pretty well must support all the things gremlin did - which should be no problem. It would be nice to program it in a way easier for mortals to modify. I would _really_ like to see if we could get it to 'dry-run' the program without machine movement....but I'm getting off topic. AFAIR Ubuntu 14.04 had both GLADE GTK2 and GTK3 available. I believe this is where we are pulling our package from. I don't think Debian did this. 10.04 only has GTK2 so that is the crossover point for us.
