At present, it is a fairly complete set of bindings. -Despite the low version number, this piece of software is quite -useful, and is usable to write moderately complex programs. (see the -examples directory for some examples of the simpler programs you could -write). - -If you have any enhancements or bug reports, please file them in -bugzilla at: - http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=pygtk - -If you have a patch, file the bug first and then use the "create new -attachment" link on the bug's info page. My preferred format for -patches is unified diff format (ie. diff -u). Please don't send me -diffs which don't have any context, as these make it very difficult to -see what the patch does. - -What's new in PyGTK 2.10 -======================== - -See the wiki page for an overview of the features in PyGTK 2.10: - -http://live.gnome.org/PyGTK/WhatsNew210 - -New Versions -============ - -New versions of this package can be found at: - http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/pygtk/ - - -Mailing list -============ - -There is a mailing list for pygtk. You can subscribe to it through -the web interface: - http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk - - -Requirements -============ - * C compiler (GCC and MSVC supported) - * Python 2.3.5 or higher - * PyGObject 2.12.1 or higher - * Glib 2.8.0 or higher - * GTK+ 2.8.0 or higher (optional) or - GTK+ 2.10.0 or higher for 2.10 API - * libglade 2.5.0 or higher (optional) - * pycairo 0.5.0 or higher (optional) - * Numeric (optional) - -This release is supporting the following GTK+ releases: - - 2.8.x - 2.10.x - -To include support for the 2.10 API you'll need GTK+ 2.10.0 etc. - -Copyright Information -===================== - -This software is covered by the GNU Lesser General Public Licence -(version 2.1, or if you choose, a later version). Basically just don't -say you wrote bits you didn't. - -Compilation -=========== - -PyGTK uses the standard autotools for the build infrastructure. To -build, it should be as simple as running: - - $ ./configure --prefix=<prefix where python is installed> - $ make - $ make install - -If your Python interpreter isn't in the path, or is not called -"python", you can set the PYTHON environment variable to the full path -of the interpreter: - - $ PYTHON=/prefix/bin/python - $ export PYTHON - -If configure can't find GTK+, you may need to set the PKG_CONFIG_PATH -environment variable to help it find the libraries. - -The "make install" target will generate normal and optimised bytecode -for all the .py files. - -Note. If you're installing to another prefix than the one where python -is installed you'll need to set the PYTHONPATH variable to the -$prefix/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages directory created by -the PyGTK installation. - -Upgrading from 0.6.x -==================== - -The API has changed a fair bit compared to the 0.6.x releases of pygtk -in response to feedback from the mailing list. The main changes are: - - no low level procedural interface. The extension now implements - the object oriented API directly, rather than layering it on top - of a procedural API. - - class names have been shortened. Eg. instead of gtk.GtkWindow, we - now have gtk.Window. - - GDK classes and functions have been moved to the "gtk.gdk" module. - - the GTK and GDK modules have been removed, with their constants - being moved into the "gtk" and "gtk.gdk" modules. - - -Tests -===== - -After having compiled and installed pygtk, you may want to test them. -There are a number of example programs available in the examples/ -subdirectory. - - -Getting Help -============ - -If you have questions about programming with PyGTK, you might want to -send a message to the mailing list (information on subscribing is -above). Alternatively, your question may be answered in the FAQ: - - http://www.async.com.br/faq/pygtk/?req=index |
