I agree. The problem is, however, that PyGtk has no wrapper for gtk- or gnome-spell. This is already discussed and tried to solve here: http://www.daa.com.au/pipermail/pygtk/2004-February/006914.html As I said, I'm new to programming (just a little R from http://www.r-project.org) and nothing else. I immediately felt in love with Python when I was trying to copy the spell check feature of BloGtk to Gnome-Blog. However, to write a wrapper is far beyond the scope of my abilities in the foreseeable future :o| Am Mo, den 23.02.2004 schrieb Sean Middleditch um 21:30: > I would suggest you not use aspell directly, but instead use a framework > like gnome-spell, gtk-spell, or Enchant.
