I would say that it depends: if you find that using Glade you can build the apps you want or need to make than that’s absolutely fine. If however you actually want to learn how GTK works or you have some non-standard UI requirements you will have to dig into GTK internals (which are not … Read more
brew install pygtk worked for me (requires homebrew). Confirmed to work with OS X 10.10 too, but by default it will install it into brew’s Python distribution, so if you are still using the native python, it will not find it.
Yes, I found a site that contains documentations for all python bindings of perhaps all GNOME projects that are supported by the python gi.repository module or the Python GObject Introspection module: http://lazka.github.io/pgi-docs/ The one specifically for GTK is:http://lazka.github.io/pgi-docs/Gtk-3.0/index.html There is also documentation specific to the gi package provided by PyGObject: https://pygobject.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guide/api/api.html I hope you find … Read more
Are you sure you want to unit test the GUI? Your example of complexity involves more than 1 unit and is therefore an integration test. If you really want to unit test, you should be able to instantiate a single class providing mocks or stubs for its dependencies, then call methods on it like the … Read more
The trick is to manually set the correct paths and then run configure inside the virtualenv. This is quite basic, but it worked for me. Install python-config in the virtual env and link it to python2.7-config: pip install config ln -s /home/PATH/TO/VIRT/bin/python-config /home/PATH/TO/VIRT/bin/python2.7-config Install cairo in the virtual env: wget http://cairographics.org/releases/py2cairo-1.10.0.tar.bz2 tar -xf py2cairo-1.10.0.tar.bz2 cd … Read more
You fix this warning by giving the GtkDialog a parent to be modal to. The relevant functions are gtk_window_set_transient_for() (which sets this window to always be on top of, or transient for, another one) and optionally gtk_window_set_modal() to make it a modal dialog. This is ultimately what the various GtkDialog constructors do.
I’m not really sure what you’re asking. wxPython and pyQt / pyside are probably the easiest to use on all platforms and will look right on most Operating systems. I know wxPython is specifically designed to wrap the native widgets so if you want your app to look native, I think wxPython is the way … Read more
