You are right there most certainly is an error in that function. Thanks I'll have to update that. You're probably the only person who has looked that closely at the code besides myself. My suggestion for your todo application is: start small. I tried to add the kitchen sink into my program and it ended up being a bit too much. I'm thinking of starting over in fact, with something a lot simpler. Hi wheaties.box,

I am currently working on a much more basic todo application with PyGTK. I'm doing it in my free time (mostly when I decide I don't have to pay attention in class) to help myself learn both Python and PyGTK better. This tutorial has been helping me understand what seem to be Python "best practices." So thanks for that. I started browsing your code this morning, and I think I found a minor problem. In pyLan.py in find_todoColumn, you are returning a todoColumn and its position in the list. The stuff with the todoColumn seems to be fine, but you declare count = 0 and simply return it. There is nothing to manipulate the value of count as you iterate through the list. Like I said, it's a minor problem, but it might be a stumbling block for those of us who are newer to programming :) Thanks again for the tutorial! Hey, thanks for this excellent tutorial!!

I want to be able to open a window fullscreen on the screen of my choosing in a dual-screen setup. I can do a fullscreen window (window.set_fullscreen()) no problems, and I can find out how many monitors are plugged in (window.get_screen().get_n_monitors()), but I can't seem to find a way to select which screen the window opens on or fullscreens to.... One option I tried was to move the window to the very extreme of the display, and then fullscreen it. Certainly under Windows this still fullscreens on the "primary" display, which, in my case, is the left hand monitor. I'll be trying it under Linux over the weekend. Is this something that gtk is able to do? Or should I be looking at gnome bindings, given that gnome handles the window manager? Are there equivalent bindings in Windows, or does cross-platform go out the window if I use gnome specific stuff? (Not a huge problem, but cross-platform would be nice) Hope you can help - thanks for taking the time to read, at least :) Ben Hi - this isn’t really specific to this tutorial, but I was wondering if you could help with something that has been bothering me for a while with Python/Gtk.

I'm studying python and I have opened a blog also where I put python stuff. My first post is about notifications with python and dbus. I think that pylan could be extended using notifications on events. If someone is interested could read my post here: http://openposts.blogspot.com/2007/04/python-class-for-notifications-via-dbus.html Hi there :) Nice stuff on your site.

I was actually going to go the SQLite route with this tutorial but decided against it at the last minute so I am interesting in seeing what you come up with. I will be sure to check back on your code from time to time. If you near a significant release or need any beta testers drop me a line and I will be sure to write a post and try to get the link out there.

The code you can find it here ( http://code.google.com/p/carlan/ ). As the description said, its not ready for public yet, but maybe someone like me would like to look at the code ;) Hi selsine!
