pygobject

I have a Python script that loads a Glade-GUI that can be translated. Everything works fine under Linux, but I am having a lot of trouble understanding the necessary steps on Windows. All that seems necessary under Linux is: import locale [...] locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, locale.getlocale()) locale.bindtextdomain(APP_NAME, LOCALE_DIR) [...] class SomeClass(): self.builder = Gtk.Builder() self.builder.set_translation_domain(APP_NAME) locale.getlocale() returns for example ('de_DE', 'UTF-8') , the LOCALE_DIR just points at the folder that has the compiled mo-files. Under Windows this makes

Is there a way to add an icon to a Gtk.ToolButton (Gtk3 using PyGi for Python) to add to the GTK+3 toolbar ? Below is my code: self.addfile = Gtk.ToolButton() self.addfile.set_label("Add File") self.addfileimg = Gtk.Image() self.addfileimg.show() self.addfileimg.set_from_file(self.get_resource("img/file.png")) self.addfile.set_icon_widget(self.addfileimg) self.addfile.connect("clicked", self.on_open_file) Note: The get_resource() method digs into the local working folder for the resource path and this method is assumed working in this context. I tried the code written above using PyGi. The

I tried to install PyGobject through PyCharm but when I click on install package i will get this window: This is what the "Command output" is: Collecting PyGObject Using cached pygobject-2.28.3.tar.bz2 Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> File "C:\Users\Gebruiker\AppData\Local\Temp\pycharm-packaging0.tmp\PyGObject\setup.py", line 272 raise SystemExit, 'ERROR: Nothing to do, gio could not be found and is essential.' ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax ---------------------------------------- Command "python

I have a GUI with a progressbar. It should show the progress of the work a second thread does. I would like to have something like an event the thread can send to the GUIs progressbar immediatly on each step of the work. But I don't see how this could be done. Python itself offers a Event class for threading situations. But it would block the GUI main thread because of the Event.wait() methode. How does it change the situaton and possible solutions if the second thread is a process? My example here is based on PyGObject (Pythons Gtk) but is related to all other GUI libraries, too. The current

I've spend past 3 days searching in google, how can I create a screenshot with PyGTK+3 ? There are gallizion tutorials about pyqt,pygtk+2,wx and PIL. By the way, I don't need external programs like scrot, imlib2, imagemagick and so on. Since nobody else posted the translation to GTK3, here you go: from gi.repository import Gdk win = Gdk.get_default_root_window() h = win.get_height() w = win.get_width() print ("The size of the window is %d x %d" % (w, h)) pb = Gdk.pixbuf_get_from_window(win, 0, 0, w, h) if (pb != None): pb.savev("screenshot.png","png", (), ()) print("Screenshot saved to
