Dear PyGTK users,
I'm happy to announce the release of PyGG 0.4 (PyGTK and Glade) which is
available for download at:
http://www.univ-paris12.fr/lacl/pommereau/PyGG-0.4.tar.gz
Users, feature requests, bug reports and patches are welcome! PyGG is
free software and released under the LGPL. A Freshmeat page has been
created for PyGG:
http://freshmeat.net/projects/pygg
WHAT'S NEW?
===========
This release can be installed automatically through the usual setup.py
script.
WHAT IS PyGG?
=============
PyGG is a Python module intended to ease the usage of Glade with
PyGTK. It handles (almost) transparently the loading of Glade files
and the connection of callbacks.
INSTALLATION
============
Unpack the distribution archive, change to the directory PyGG-VERSION
and run one of the following commands:
# install to default location (usually /usr)
python setup.py install
# install to /usr/local
python setup.py install --prefix=/usr/local
# get additional help
python setup.py install --help
USAGE
=====
A PyGG object is a GTK widget together with its callbacks. It is
created from two parts:
- a GTK widget called MyPygg, which should be defined in a Glade file
named mypygg.glade, this file may define other widgets
- a sub-class of one of the PyGG classes (Window, AppWindow, Dialog
or Widget) named MyPygg and having methods corresponding to the
callbacks defined in mypygg.glade
Creating an instance of the class MyPygg will load mypygg.glade and
create an attribute MyPygg in the instance, referring to the widget
MyPygg. The other widgets will be available as attributes (the name of
the widget being that of the attribute). The attributes of the widget
MyPygg will be available as attributes of the instances of MyPygg.
A global variable called "sources" in the module pygg allows to
specify where Glade files should be searched for. By calling
pygg.sources.add("location"), you can add a new location which can be
a Glade file, a directory or a ZIP file. In, the two later cases, all
the Glade files found in the location are taken into account.
A companion tool called pygg-stub.py allows to create sample PyGG
classes from Glade files, having all the required callbacks.
See the source code (doc-strings and comments) and the example
(helloworld.glade and helloworld.py) for further details.
