It's probably late to raise this topic, but I'd still like to hear
opinions. The thing is, `gtk.py' advocates `from gtk import *' as a
good way to import the Gtk functionality and then uses the Gtk prefix
to ensure namespace integrity.
However, I'm not sure it really buys us much. I mean, importing stuff
like GtkButton or GtkWindow to the global namespace is probably fine,
given their common prefix, but I don't like getting stuff like
atom_intern(), atom_name(), rc_parse(), idle_add(), events_pending(),
new(), or, for that matter, TRUE and FALSE.
Wouldn't it be nicer if the normal usage of the gtk module were to
just do `import gtk', and the Gtk prefix were removed from classes.
Then you would write something like:
import gtk
class MyWindow (gtk.Window): # instead of GtkWindow
...
window = MyWindow ()
window.show_all ()
...
gtk.mainloop ()
James, what do you think about such a scheme?
