[Orbit-python-list] Hello, hints anyone?

[Michele C. <mol...@f2...>]

  Hello, I'm just starting to dive into ORBit-Python and the brand new
Bonobo-Python and I'd like to thank all the nice guys involved.

  Can anybody suggest me how to learn the path to develop a
Bonobo-Python application?
  I have already briefly read:
    - On writing a Bonobo control, by Dirk-Jan C. Binnema
    - Bonobo, by Miguel de Icaza
    - all the docs found on orbit-python.sault.org
    - the samples code
but they seems to be mainly focused on Controls, while I want to write a
container (I'd especially like to expand the gtkhtml.py example).

  Back to studying, now...

  Thanks,
  Michele

Feel free to post bonobo-python related questions here until such a time
as Johan sets up a bonobo-python-list. :)

Cheers,
Jason.

Yes, that would be nice, considering the AWFUL amount of traffic this list
generates. :)

Take care,

   Yeah, looked at the archives before posting and wondered if this was 
an announcements-oply list... ;)

Hi.

It's really simple to create your own container with help of=20
BonoboWidget:
----
import bonobo
import gtk

def idle ():
	window =3D gtk.GtkWindow ()
	window.connect ('delete_event', gtk.mainquit)=20

	uic =3D bonobo.BonoboUIContainer ()
	control =3D bonobo.BonoboWidget("OAFIID:Bonobo_Sample_Calculator",
                                       uic)
	window.add (control)
	window.show_all ()

gtk.idle_add (idle)
bonobo.main ()
---

For more information about BonoboWidget, look at.
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/bonobo/bonobo-bonobo-widget.html

This is documentation for C but most things applies to python too.

  Yeah, this is what I see from the samples. But how I call methods on
the BonoboWidget?
  I have attached what I have done so far (the example HTML is in
italian, but I don't think this to be a problem ;).

  Am I on the right track? Is it right to directly import the interfaces
I need or there is some other "automatic" way to do it?
  How can I import the GNOME.GtkHTML.Editor.Engine interface without
manually loading the IDL?
  Why does the NautilusView example doesn't work? Is the problem in the
sample code or in the wrapper?

  Sorry for putting so many questions on a single message, but I'm
really excited about Bonobo-Python! I'd like to have a complete
GNOME-Python development environment...


  Thanks,
  Michele

  P.S. How about moving Bonobo-Python development to SourceForge?

You can use:
object_client = control.get_server ()
object_client.query_interface (...) 
as you did or do it directly through CORBA:
control_corba = control.get_objref ()
control_corba.queryInterface (...)

GtkHTML is broken.
GtkHTML installs idl-files in /usr/share/gtkhtml when it should install
idl files in /usr/share/idl.

When GtkHTML install it's files in the correct dir,
from GNOME.GtkHTML.Editor import Engine
should work just fine.

Because newer versions of GtkHTML requires gconf and it's not wrapped in
python (yet).
But i might fix this by using the GtkHTML component in a container, so i
don't need to talk to GtkHTML directly.

Na, i like GNOME CVS, but i need to put up a separate mailing list soon
