I'm just getting started with pyGtk programming, so bear with me. I have a dialog with a ComboBox. The list that shows up when I click on the combo box has 70+ times in it. It extends from the top of the screen to the bottom. I can live with it, but I'd rather have the ComboBox perform like an html select element(i.e. top of menu is ...
The following code does not work correctly on Windows (but does on Linux): sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) sock.setblocking(True) sock.connect(address) gobject.io_add_watch( sock.fileno(), gobject.IO_OUT | gobject.IO_ERR | gobject.IO_HUP, callback) Snippets o...
What is the best way to have transparency of specific widgets in a PyGTK application? I do not want to use themes because the transparency of each of the widgets will be changing through animation. The only thing I can find is to use cairo to draw widgets with an Alpha, but I can't figure out how to do this. Is there perhaps a better wa...
Hey everyone, I'm currently working on a small script that needs to use gtk.StatusIcon(). For some reason, I'm getting some weird behavior with it. If I go into the python interactive shell and type: >> import gtk >> statusIcon = gtk.status_icon_new_from_file("img/lin_idle.png") Pygtk does exactly what it should do, and shows an icon...
I am looking for an example application written in Python and PyGTK. There should be an editor out there somewhere that already does this. Some app with a text editor row of buttons: - Font - Bold/italic/underline - etc I am hoping to avoid reinventing the wheel on this one! thanks ...

My program has a gtk.TreeView which displays a gtk.ListStore. The gtk.ListStore contains strings like this: "<span size='medium'><b>"+site_title+"</b></span>"+"\n"+URL Where URL is (obviously) a URL string. Sometimes there are characters in URL that cause pango to fail to parse the markup. Is there a way to escape URL as a whole so...
Is there a way to uncheck all radio buttons in a group with PyGTK? No radio buttons are checked on startup, so I think there must be a way to return them all to that unchecked state. ...
I'm a web developer looking to get my feet wet with coding up a little desktop app for Ubuntu in Python. I've scoured the web looking for the pros and cons of PyGTK vs. PyQT and can't really find any good comparisons. What do you guys think? Do they both produce native-looking widgets on a GNOME system? Is one easier to use than the oth...
I am writing a program by a framework using pygtk. The main program doing the following things: Create a watchdog thread to monitor some resource Create a client to receive data from socket call gobject.Mainloop() but it seems after my program enter the Mainloop, the watchdog thread also won't run.

I have an mjpeg stream from a web-cam and would like to display it in an application written in python using pygtk. The stream is a string of bytes from the driver. What widget would be best for displaying this and would I need to do some intermediate conversion before putting it in the widget? Should I write my own widget to do this? ...
I have a GTK layout with a widget on the left of an HBox deciding the maximum height I want, and a VBox on the right containing three buttons, each containing only an image and no text. The images are a GTK stock icon, and so have the stock storage type. Using expand=True, fill=True packing the buttons without images are exactly the hei...
I have created a pygtk program to monitor the keyboard status and mouse clicks across any application (i.e. not just for my application). This uses evdev by Micah Dowty which basically monitors /dev/input/event* for output and decodes the information in a way that I can display the information to the user. The program works perfectly fo...
I am trying to save user's bold/italic/font/etc tags in a GtkTextView. Using GtkTextBuffer.get_text() does not return the tags. The best documentation I have found on this is: http://www.pygtk.org/docs/pygtk/class-gtktextbuffer.html#method-gtktextbuffer--register-serialize-format However, I do not understand the function arguments. It ...
My intention was to use pyGTK's main loop to create a function that blocks while it waits for the user's input. The problem I've encountered is best explained in code: #! /usr/bin/python import gtk def test(): retval = True def cb(widget): retval = False gtk.main_quit() window = gtk.Window(gtk.WINDOW_TOPLE...

It's a known bug/issue that a label in GTK will not dynamically resize when the parent changes. It's one of those really annoying small details, and I want to hack around it if possible. I followed the approach at 16 software, but as per the disclaimer you cannot then resize it smaller. So I attempted a trick mentioned in one of the com...
