PyGTK - App not exiting on windows destruction

[ironfistchamp]

Hey all

I have taken the plunge into GTK programming with Python. It looks incredibly complex and I am hoping I take to it as I did with Python Console programming. My first problem is this. I am trying to simplest thing. I use Glade to create one window with a label in the middle. I have that working fine but I can't get the window to destroy correctly. Reading a tutorial I have to set the event in the properties window but mine seems different one from the version in the tute. Anyway I set the handle for the GTKWidget > destroy-event. I link this handle to call gtk.main_quit. When closing the window this just leaves the program running just with no window. However if I call the exact same function from a button it works fine. What exactly am I doing wrong?

Any help would be great

Thanks

without seeing your code, you could try
def destroy(widget, data=None):
print "destroy signal occurred"
gtk.main_quit()

Thanks I am not sure where to put that. I have included my code. I tried putting it in the Class and outside but I kept getting called outside of mainloop error.



#!/usr/bin/env python

import sys
try:
import pygtk
pygtk.require("2.0")
except:
pass
try:
import gtk
import gtk.glade
except:
sys.exit(1)



class mainGTK:


def __init__(self):

#Set the Glade file
self.gladefile = "test.glade"
self.wTree = gtk.glade.XML(self.gladefile)

dic = {"on_mainwin_destroy_event": destroy(self)}

self.wTree.signal_autoconnect(dic)
self.main_win = self.wTree.get_widget("mainwin")


if __name__ == "__main__":
hwg = mainGTK()
gtk.main()

Here's how I do it:

Change this line:

dic = {"on_mainwin_destroy_event": destroy(self)}

to this:

dic = {"on_mainwin_destroy_event": gtk.main_quit}

@ohgod

That is what I had before and it didn't work. What you have put is my actual code.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Here's some code that does work and that doesn't require you to define the signals in the glade file.

#!/usr/bin/env python

import sys
try:
import pygtk
pygtk.require("2.0")
except:
pass
try:
import gtk
import gtk.glade
except:
sys.exit(1)



class mainGTK:

def now_quit(self, widget, data=None):
gtk.main_quit()
return False

def __init__(self):
#Set the Glade file
gladefile = "test.glade"
self.wTree = gtk.glade.XML(gladefile)

self.main_win = self.wTree.get_widget("mainwin")
self.main_win.connect("destroy", self.now_quit)

self.main_win.show_all()


if __name__ == "__main__":
hwg = mainGTK()
gtk.main()

Notice I connected to destroy, not destroy-event, I displayed the window manually, and I didn't need to change the glade file.
