CTRL+V) so that I can process them rather than passing it throu...

I found the article 'Gnome applets with Python', but i...

I am trying to develop a GNOME applet (put into panel) using python (pyGTK). I've started by following the tutorial suggested in other SO question. My plan is to let the applet do something in the background in a repetitive fashion (causing its display to be updated). So I thought I am gonna need threads to do it. I've seen several tut...

I'm currently writing a screen capture app for Windows and Linux using PyGTK, and I've hit a slight problem with displaying notifications. On Linux, I've been using the libnotify bindings to provide notifications, which has been working very well; however, this has no equivalent on Windows. I'd use the Win32 APIs directly to display the...
