[Python] gtk.GtkHBox or gtk.HBox , Which is right?

[baskar007]

Hi friends,
I am newbie to GTK, I have an idea to write a python application on GTk GUI. i am using Ubuntu9.10 with python 2.6 minimal.
I refered tutorials on http://www.pygtk.org/tutorial.html .

in this tutorial examples the GTk window given as like this



window = gtk.GtkWindow(gtk.WINDOW_TOPLEVEL)
hbox = gtk.GtkHBox(gtk.FALSE, 5)


but i am getting errors when i run these codes.



unhandled AttributeError
"'module' object has no attribute 'GtkWindow'"

unhandled AttributeError
"'module' object has no attribute 'GtkHBox'"


after that i tried same codes with little changes



window = gtk.Window(gtk.WINDOW_TOPLEVEL)
hbox = gtk.HBox(gtk.FALSE, 5)


which one is the right code on above two?

is that tutorial is wrong? or module problem in my PC?

I think you were reading the PyGTK 0.6.x (GTK+ 1.x) tutorial, you should read the newer one.

Also, take a look at glade:


sudo apt-get install glade

Drop the Gtk* prefix everywhere you see it. It makes no sense in the OOP nature of Python to use qualified names (like GTK+ does in C).
