Ok This is off-topic, but any timeline about next major gtk/gnome/pygtk/pygnome
release?
> In case anyone is interested, I have put up a snapshot of pygtk for the
> HEAD branch of CVS gtk+,glib and pango. You can get it at:
> http://www.gnome.org/~james/pygtk2-SNAP-20001030.tar.gz
>
> You will need a fairly recent version of gtk+ and glib from CVS, as it
> uses the GSignal code that Tim Janik checked in a week ago. I don't think
> it will be too difficult to add support for creating new GObject
> subclasses from python, and adding new signals to GObjects. As the
> GObject code is split off into a separate module (gobject), you may find
> it useful as a general purpose notification framework for non GUI apps.
>
> You will probably run into dynamic linker problems at first. It is
> necessary to relink the pango modules and gdk-imlib modules so that they
> link against the libraries they use. Alternatively, you can modify your
> python sources so that extension modules are loaded with the RTLD_GLOBAL
> flag.
>
> You can almost test out the new text widget with these bindings. The
> problem is with signal handlers, as the GtkTextIter arguments are not
> identified as such, so you only get opaque cobjects instead.
>
> You will need python 2.0 (or maybe 1.6) as some of the unicode
> features. When importing the gtk module, it will set the default encoding
> to UTF8, so you can pass unicode strings to most parts of gtk, and they
> will convert to UTF8 and display correctly.
>
> Thread support is disabled at present because I haven't worked out how to
> get things working with the GObject system. With pygtk-0.6.x, we used
> some hacks that relied on the global GDK lock to synchronise access to the
> python lock. If there are any threading gurus on the list, I could use
> some help working out how to get things working without the benefit of
> this lock. I can post some notes on the requirements to get things
> working if that would be helpful.
