Currently as far as I know there are no books on PyGTK. So this summer I decided to put some of my notes together in an attempt to start a book. However I am not a very good writer and my knowledge of PyGTK is not at an expert level. The reason I would like a book on PyGTK and related technologies is actually a selfish one. I wish to have one location that I can turn to and be sure of finding an answer. I do not want to forget how I did something or how something worked and not be able to remember the website I found the answers on.
I have written a few chapters so far, such as using PyGTK with GStreamer, cairo, dbus, and embedding Mozilla or internet explorer. I am trying to keep the examples platform agnostic so they will work on at least Linux and Windows. However the main focus is on Linux development, but if the examples can be made to work on Windows I make sure they do. What is currently needed are chapters that focus on PyGTK itself, such as chapters that introduce PyGTK and more advanced chapters that focus on particular areas. As well as lots of review and editing. The license I plan on using is the creative commons Attribution-Share Alike 2.5 license. At the moment the book is in rough shape and in need of much editing. I would like to finish this book myself but I do not have the skills or knowledge to do this myself. So if you are willing to help with editing and/or contributing to needed sections and chapters, please contact me. What I already have written can be found at the link below. http://majorsilence.com/rubbish/pygtk-book/ _______________________________________________ pygtk mailing list [email protected] http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk Read the PyGTK FAQ: http://faq.pygtk.org/
