Although the IDE doesn't crash (because it's mostly Java code), it does crash python process getting the completions for Gtk objects. So it's not critical, but highly inconvenient for my situation. This bug does not seem to crash Idle or PythonWin IDEs; I didn't try other programs. > Cedric > Cheers, --Tim _______________________________________________ pygtk mailing list [email protected] http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk Read the PyGTK FAQ: http://www.async.com.br/faq/pygtk/
