Pragmatically, I'm not worried about that. I'm making a very specific
program to keep track of credit information in my class. Unless the
State of California drastically changes graduation requirements, I'm
OK. I just really didn't like doing that because, well, because I knew
that it was 'wrong.'

This is where I'm running into documentation problems. I've found a
couple tutorials, examples on using glade and python. A lot on using
gtk and python, but I haven't seen one mixing the two.

This is what I tried, and failed to do. I changed from a textview to a
button, looks about the same and has made opening a second window to
deal with specific credits much easier. Here is a screenshot of what
I'm doing with my first window.
snapshot of main screen
The two boxes in the middle are the ones that I've been showing/hiding.
In my code I have:
for credit in credits:
counter += 1
sub_buf = 15 - len(credit[0])
chap_buf = 15 - len(credit[1])
cred_buf = 5 - len(credit[2])
score_buf = 5 - len(credit[1])
temp = credit[0] + " " * sub_buf + credit[1] + " " * chap_buf +
"Credits: " + credit[2] + " " * chap_buf + "Score: " + credit[3] +
"\n\n\tNOTES: " + credit[4]
bttn_number = 'credit_button' + str(counter)
self.builder.get_object(bttn_number).set_label(temp)
self.builder.get_object(bttn_number).show()
return
In this case, I have two sample credits I manually put in the database.
I see that I should create a button and pack it in the box (vbox2 from
my glade file)
I tried replacing the last two lines with:
bttn = gtk.button(bttn_number)
self.builder.vbox2.pack_start(bttn_number)
Then
bttn = gtk.button()
bttn.set_label(temp)
self.builder.vbox2.pack_start(bttn)
And I keep getting 'AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute
'button'
I know this is incredibly basic, and I apologize if it's annoying, but I
have looked and just can't find some basic answers. The documentation I
see makes me feel like the world of python will open up for me once I
make it up this steep hill. Again, thanks for any help, I really do
appreciate it.

There are no stupid questions, just stupid people.
