Here is a script that I wrote that converts between
degress Celsius and Fahrenheit:

#!/usr/bin/python

import pygtk
pygtk.require('2.0')
import gtk
        
class Conversion_GUI:
        def get_text(self, widget, entry):
                entry_text = entry.get_text()
                temp = float(entry_text)
                return temp
                
        def convert_to_celsius(self, temp):
                return (temp - 32)/1.8
                
        def convert_to_fahrenheit(self, temp):
                return temp * 1.8 + 32
                
        def print_temp(self, widget, entry, rb1):
                temp = float(entry.get_text())
                if rb1.get_active():
                        val = '%.2f C' % self.convert_to_celsius(temp)
                else:
                        val = '%.2f F' % self.convert_to_fahrenheit(temp)
                print "Degrees temp: ", val
                
                
        def __init__(self):
                self.temp = 0
                
                self.window = gtk.Window(gtk.WINDOW_TOPLEVEL)
                self.window.connect("destroy", lambda w:
gtk.main_quit())
                self.window.set_title("Convert Temperatures")
                self.window.set_default_size(200,100)
                
                entry = gtk.Entry()
                entry.set_max_length(10)
                entry.set_text("0")
                label = gtk.Label("Enter Temp: ")
                label.set_justify(gtk.JUSTIFY_LEFT)
                entry.show()
                label.show()
                
                rb1 = gtk.RadioButton(None, "Fahrenheit")
                rb2 = gtk.RadioButton(rb1,"Celsius")
                rb1.show()
                rb2.show()
                
                box1 = gtk.VBox(False, 0)
                box2 = gtk.HBox(False, 0)
                box2.pack_start(rb1, False, False, 0)
                box2.pack_start(rb2, False, False, 0)
                box1.pack_start(box2, False, False, 0)
                
                box3 = gtk.HBox(False, 0)
                self.window.add(box1)
                
                box3.pack_start(label, False, False, 0)
                box3.pack_start(entry, True, True, 0)
                box1.pack_start(box3, False, False, 0)
                
                entry.connect("activate", self.print_temp, entry,
rb1)
                quit_button = gtk.Button("Quit")
                quit_button.connect("clicked", lambda
w:gtk.main_quit())
                convert_button = gtk.Button("Convert")
                convert_button.connect("clicked", self.print_temp,
entry, rb1)
                convert_button.show()
                quit_button.show()
                
                box3.pack_start(convert_button, False, False, 0)
                box3.pack_start(quit_button, False, True, 0)
                
                box3.show()
                box2.show()
                box1.show()
                self.window.show()
                
        def main(self):
                gtk.main()
                return 0
        
if __name__ == '__main__':
        convert = Conversion_GUI()
        convert.main()

Right now, the script simply prints the answer to the
screen, but I think printing to the GUI would be more
logical.  I have been going through the PyGTK tutorial
and docs and have not found a widget that exists
solely to accept information that would normally print
to the screen.  What should I use?  Can I modify a
label to do the job?
