Hello, as announced before i've published depikt on sourceforge. Depikt is a bundle of python wrappers for gtk in one file, used by me as a replacement for pygtk. Depikt will only support Python 3 upwards - it makes massive use of an innovation in Python's C-API (PyCapsule). This would come to no trivial other changes for backward compatibility, which is too tedious for me. Depikt's widgets are subclassable now (there are still problems in the __init__s of such subclasses apparently) and accept dynamic attributes. This was an important step forward done Nov.16. Depikt supports around fifteen widget types now, together with depikt.rc_parse, widget.set_flags, gtk.idle_add et al. widget.connect() and widget.connect_after() support additional arguments - thus depikt already has a working base for creating small applications. For windows a depikt.pyd is provided. Depikt does not support the standard dialogs, i've replaced them with my own a long time ago. Unfortunately the are derived from gtk.Window() - exactly here the above-mentioned problems are appearing. I am still new to the gtk-API (having used pygtk only for years) - with a bit luck the problems stem from there and not from depikt. I'd like to state here: The standard message box is wrong in my eyes - in fact by two reasons: 1. The ok-Button on it has to be selected by the user. This is a small extra effort, very small indeed, but nevertheless there. The whole message box must be sensible to clicks. Having that, you also will get a better common disappearing behavior for all dialogs, if you derive them from a common base class, where the message box is a kind of header. In the "Yes"-"No"-dialog this spares the "Cancel"-Button. 2. "Ok" is rude. In many, many cases a message box informs the user about a missing feature of the program. To call for an "Ok" then, where your "Sorry" were appropriate, can easily be rude, very rude. You might request that from American GI's, if you want to, but not from your user. Perhaps i will provide my own set of dialogs with depikt in future. Of course any feedback and amendments of depikt will always be welcome. Thanks for reading, Joost Behrends _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
