Good tool/IDE for GTK+python

[Can+~]

@jesui... (sry, lazy)
I'm stuck at the same place man.. All tutorials speak in detail, until the point where GUI connects to code. After that its a sample code and some comments and.. good bye!

I would really like a detailed tutorial explaining how each component of GUI can be integrated into the python code.

Off to the reference.

The GUI connects to code only through: Events and references. It's as simple as that, whenever a button is pushed, text field written to, or anything, you can add a string in the "event window" (can't remember the exact name on Glade3), and append that signal to the python dictionary, and attach a method to decide what to do.

Whenever you need help on a particular component, then head to the reference.

Here is part of a program I am working on. The glade file exported as a builder file is testimport.glade, I show just some of the other objects: Then I have code to handle all the buttons etc.

Some code to check stuff
try:
self.builder = gtk.Builder()
self.builder.add_from_file("testimport.glade")
except:
self.show_error_dlg("Failed to load UI XML file: testimport.glade")
sys.exit(1)

# get the widgets which will be referenced in callbacks
self.window = self.builder.get_object("window1")
self.notebook1 = self.builder.get_object("notebook1")
self.statusbar = self.builder.get_object("statusbar")
self.btnimport = self.builder.get_object("btnImport")
self.btnStore = self.builder.get_object("btnStore")
self.btnAdd = self.builder.get_object("btnAdd")
self.btnGetName = self.builder.get_object("btnGetName")

If you define the event handlers in Glade using the "Signals" properties you can use

self.builder.connect_signals(self)

to automatically connect the event handlers to the corresponding methods of your class.

http://www.micahcarrick.com/12-24-20...al-part-1.html has examples in C and Python - just ignore the C parts.



That's just a matter of taste. All the event handling and business logic stuff is the same for both ways.

Thanks for this, I'll surely try it out. I can't believe I've not done any 'Hello World' since I moved to Ubuntu.

I started checking out QT but suspect GTK+ might just be the way.

Thanks once again for the guide.
