pygtk

I am trying to install pygtk using pip on Windows. Initially i get an error saying "ERROR: Could not import dsextras module: Make sure you have installed pygobject." So when I try installing pygobject I get an error saying "ERROR: Could not find pkg-config: please check your PATH environment variable" Pretty new to Python so could be making a stupid mistake but does anyone have any ideas? Thanks I had the same problem on my Window 7 machine, and solved it by installing the prebuilt PyGTK executables, which I found here: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/pygtk/2.22/ . I installed

I am working on a GTK+ application written in python. I obviously use PyGtk. My application is about collections of videos. It's a kind of F-spot or Picasa, but for video. As you can see in these two apps, you have a central area where you can see all of your photos with tag thumbnails under. In my app, I want to implement the same kinf of view. For now I simply use this: A gtk.Table containing a VBox , inside the VBox a Pixbuf (my video thumbnail) and a HBox , and inside the HBox , as many Pixbuf as tags. It's working but it's ugly and It seems like It's not the better solution. Looking

I'm having some problems threading my pyGTK application. I give the thread some time to complete its task, if there is a problem I just continue anyway but warn the user. However once I continue, this thread stops until gtk.main_quit is called. This is confusing me. The relevant code: class MTP_Connection(threading.Thread): def __init__(self, HOME_DIR, username): self.filename = HOME_DIR + "mtp-dump_" + username threading.Thread.__init__(self) def run(self): #test run for i in range(1, 10): time.sleep(1) print i .......................... start_time = time.time() conn = MTP_Connection(self

For each row in my treeview, I want 4 image buttons next to each other. They will act like radio buttons, with only one being activateable at a time. Each button has an 'on' and 'off' image. How do I do this? I figured out how to put images there, and how to put togglebuttons, but this seems to require some more effort as there is no pre-built cellrenderer that does what I want. Basically what'd solve my problem is figuring out how to make an image in a gtk.treeview clickable. any ideas? Have a look at this ' http://www.daa.com.au/pipermail/pygtk/2010-March/018355.html '. It shows you how to

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 comments (the set_size_request call in the signal callback), but this results in some sort of infinite loop (try it and see). Does anyone have any other ideas? (You can't block the signal just for the duration of the call, since as the print statements seem to

I would like to save the looks of a GTK window, and all the buttons and other widgets it contains to a PNG or PDF file. Cairo supports drawing on such surfaces. Could I somehow ask a GTK widget to draw itself on Cairo surface? A code sample would be much appreciated, since I am a newcomer to both GTK and Cairo. Python is my language of choice. In C, you can put your buttons and widgets in a GtkOffscreenWindow using gtk_widget_reparent() and then use gtk_offscreen_window_get_pixbuf() to render it onto a GdkPixbuf , which you can then save to a file. Sorry I don't have any Python code, but I don

I have a process that will take a while (maybe a minute or two) to complete. When I call this from my pygtk GUI the window locks up (darkens and prevents user action) after about 10 seconds. I'd like to stop this from happening, but I'm not sure how. I thought multithreading would be the answer, but it doesn't seem to be working. I've tried two different methods I found online. First, I modified this FAQ to take a long running function. Secondly I tried using threading.Thread directly like in this answer , but that also locks up. My two samples are below. I'm new to multithreading, so maybe it

I have a Python app based on Twisted and PyGTK. Twisted itself depends on zope.interface, and I don't import it directly. Unfortunately, when I try to run my app, the following error ends up in the error log: Traceback (most recent call last): File "tasks.py", line 4, in <module> File "ui\__init__.pyc", line 14, in <module> File "twisted\python\log.pyc", line 17, in <module> ImportError: No module named zope.interface Traceback (most recent call last): File "tasks.py", line 4, in <module> File "ui\__init__.pyc", line 14, in <module> File "twisted\python\log.pyc", line 17, in <module>
