Question

PyGtk Program is not responding on Windows

Answer 1

+2 A:

You need to run a main loop so GTK can process events, draw in the window, etc.

Add this to your program:

gtk.main()

Don't worry I'm not a beginner, I've already added that to the end of the file. The problem doesn't come from there. What I showed above is in the python interpreter(you don't need to start a loop)

Does your normal development machine run Windows, Linux or something else; and does the program work properly there? Could you supply a minimal program that shows the problem?

I run Linux and Windows is being ran in a Virtual Machine. Even a simple program like:import gtk;w = gtk.Window();w.show();gtk.main();gets this error. If the program is a PyGtk program it just stops responding right after it opened.I supplied an example of a program that doesn't work on this link http://pastebin.com/An6z5WtiNote: This isn't the only program that doesn't work, it's just an example. Any Gtk program stops responding(if I click it the End Now Dialog appears).Thank you for helping me!

I know the path to the Glade file is "/home/calin/..." but this is changed in the other programs so that's not why it doesn't work. May it be because of the first line(#!/usr/bin/env python)?

if I don't use threads, my programs just go gray if they undergo some heavy processing. I don't know how to correctly use them but I will check that link out. The problem doesn't come from the threads, as any pygtk app freezes.

Answer 2

+1 A:

Solved! It seems installing ActivePython the installing GTK runtime, PyCairo, PyObject, PyGtk as administrator with compatibility mode for Windows Xp Service Pack 2 solved the problem. Thank you adw for your help and suggestions!
