[Python-gtkextra-devel] Initial code in CVS

[Toby D. R. <to...@so...>]

Folks,

I just checked in the initial (and very rough) python wrapper code for a
slightly patched version gtkextra-2 from here:

cvs -z3 -d :pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/gtkextra co
gtkextra-2

The patch is attached.  Hopefully gtkextra's author will entertain the changes
sometime.  I built and installed its rpms.

There is something funny going on with linking to the gtkextra library. Might be
libtool differences. I'm sure it can be figure out.  Until someone does, for
hacking you use the script "test.sh" to launch a test of the binding.

Instead of branching the python-gtkextra tree, I made a new top level module
(directory) called python-gtkextra2.

On Red Hat 7.3

cd /your-cvs-directory/python-gtkextra2
source setup-rh73.sh
./autogen.sh
make
cd examples
./test.sh testcharsel.py


Thats the only example I ported over to PyGtk2. Of course the bindings are not
finished yet either....  Need to edit gtkextra.defs and add correct "field
entries" for each object definition.  Then write any accessor or override
function in gtkextra.override.

Should not be to hard to get it mostly working.  The Gtk 2.0 and PyGtk2 authors
have put a lot of work into making it easy to write language bindings if the
"rules" are followed.  So far the GtkExtra2 code seams OK.
