Great tutorial. I’ve just started exploring python with glade-3. It works well after turning on \visible\ at the common tab. Also I have to save the glade file as libglade.

Thanx for the tutorial!!!

Hi, after following this tutorial, I’ve managed to make some small programs. Now I want one that edits a text file, by getting the contents of three text boxes then pasting them into the file. How would I go about this? I can guess, but I’d probably be wildly out. I don’t really need specifics, just the basic code needed in order to do so.

Preferably by putting the contents of text boxes into a variable, then pasting the contents of the variable into the text file. I can do the latter part, but the former part stumps me. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

I was having the same problem as some others, where the program wouldn’t quit after I destroyed the window and I had to press control-C. I figured out what was wrong with my code and I thought I would mention it. It was a dumb error, but…

The main window of my application was not named “MainWindow”, it was named “window1″. So the line about self.wTree.get_widget(”MainWindow”) returned nothing. Then, since there was an if statement around self.window.connect(”destroy”, gtk.main_quit), it silently didn’t connect the event to anything. It might be clearer to leave out that if statement, so that if something’s wrong it’s easier to see it.

Anyway, thanks so much for the tutorial! I’ve been wishing that I could find good GUI programming opportunities in Python, and this seems like a really good step in that direction.

Hi JonBob,

I’m not really sure. To be honest it’s been a long time since I used pyDev and eclipse. In the end I found it too cumbersome, try using geany, it’s my personal favourite these days.

Nice tutorial! I am new in programming with python. I did my first python experience with pyDev and eclipse on Windows machine.
I am going through you tutorial and stack at the point when I have to save my project. I don’t have the option to save the project as python project. There are only possibilities for C, C++ and adda 95.
Please give me a hint what I did wrong?

Thank
JonBob

Sorry for the bad English … I am still learning
