Hi all.

I started python and pygtk recently (a few weeks).

For that I used 

Python 2.7 documentation
http://docs.python.org/

python GTK2.0 tutorial
http://pygtk.org/pygtk2tutorial/index.html

Then, I decided to switch to pygobject. Two reasons for that :

* The advice on pygtk.org : "New users wishing to develop Python applications
  using GTK+ are recommended to use the GObject-Introspection features
  available in PyGObject."

* The fact that glade, that I wanted to use as well, now (from version 3.10)
  only supports GTK3 (or so I understand).

The resources I use are now referenced here : https://live.gnome.org/PyGObject

* The tutorial :
  http://readthedocs.org/docs/python-gtk-3-tutorial/en/latest/index.html

* A partial doc I don't really use :
  http://people.gnome.org/~johnp/girdocsalpha/Gtk/

* Examples I just discovered :
  http://developer.gnome.org/gnome-devel-demos/stable/

The most annoying is that I often find myself having to deal with the GTK3
reference manual : http://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/ and guess what the
python code corresponding to the C code can be.

Some adaptations are trivial, like from

void                gtk_window_set_title                (GtkWindow *window,
                                                         const gchar *title);

to 

Gtk.Window.window.set_title(string)

But it is sometimes hard to just guess the name of python constants from C
constants.

Like from GTK_WINDOW_POPUP to Gtk.WindowType.POPUP, for instance.

Is there any document indicating generic recipes to do the translation, or do
I just need to pull my hair a little more time until I can "feel" that ?

Is there any other document I could use ?

Was GTK3 actually too bleeding edge for a beginner ?

More generally, what approach would you suggest ?

Thanks for your feedback.
