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.
Constants are actually pretty easy once you understand how they are
mapped to Python.
Have a look at the C docs page for all enumerations:
http://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/gtk3-Standard-Enumerations.html
Let's start at the top of these for convenience sake:
GTK_ACCEL_MASK from GtkAccelFlags becomes Gtk.AccelFlags.MASK
GTK_ARROWS_BOTH from GtkArrowPlacement becomes Gtk.ArrowPlacement.BOTH
GTK_ARROW_UP from GtkArrowType becomes Gtk.ArrowType.UP
You will notice a pattern: take the enumeration name, split the Gtk part
and rest with a dot, then leave out GTK_*_ part from the types and
append them to the previously splitted name.
This approach always worked for me till now.
Cheers,
Timo
