Thanks for the help Tim! Good to see this is being sorted in Python at last, although it'll be some time before I can use only Python 2.6 I suspect...
I'm making use of _handle now and it works - most of the time. The remaining issues are probably PyGTK problems rather than python ones though, and hence off topic here. Regards, Geoff -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
