I am converting a script to use Gtk3 using the migration guide ( Porting GTK2 to GTK3 ). I converted my import pygtk to a from gi.repository import Gtk and so on... I'm stuck because the glade module was loaded from module gtk: import gtk import gtk.glade but there's no way now to do that anymore. Note that I would only need a replacement for gtk.glade.XML() ... Well, the solution is pretty obvious, after calling to Gtk.Builder() one needs to convert the old glade interface with the gtk-builder-convert command to get the interface file in the right version. $ gtk-builder-convert myui.glade

When I try to import Webkit from gi.repository , it gives an ImportError : from gi.repository import Webkit ERROR:root:Could not find any typelib for Webkit Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: cannot import name Webkit What am I doing wrong? Your error seems a typo and the library is not found for that. You have to put "WebKit" instead of "Webkit". Additionaly if you use Ubuntu check the library existence with: $ locate girepository | grep WebKit /usr/lib/girepository-1.0/WebKit-3.0.typelib If doesn't exist you need install the package gir1.2

I'm currently foolish enough to try to maintaintain two parallel code bases for a Python desktop application, one using PyGObject introspection for GTK 3 and one using PyGTK for GTK 2. I work mainly on the PyGObject branch and then I port changes over to the PyGTK branch. Due to all the minor differences between these implementations, I often overlook things and cause breakage that I miss and accidentally release, only to be caught by the users. I'm trying to figure out a good way to design some unittests that would, preferably, be suitable to run on both code bases. It's not an overly

PyGObject appears to have no real documentation. This tutorial is as close as it gets. I've been struggling all morning simply trying to find a description of the arguments accepted by the Gtk.Window constructor. It seems I can't do much reflection in Python because everything in PyGObject is dynamically generated. All I want is to know what arguments I can pass to this constructor! There doesn't appear to be an equivalent of this object in the GTK+ 3 documentation, and reading the source code to figure out the bindings has proven to be an extremely daunting task. Any ideas?? I agree that this

im having some problems to send to the front a GTK window. I have a main window ( window_root ) with a button that launches another window ( window_programs ). with this commands: window_root.hide() window_programs.show() then, in window_programs , i have a button that displays another window ( window_list ) with the command: window_list.show() window_list is modal. The problem was that window_list appeared at the back of window_programs . so i did some research and i found window_list.show() . The problems is that window_list appears at the front, but when i click it window_programs comes to
