I am experimenting (flailing around?) with glade and python. Both under MS
Windows and Linux.
I understand why I want to "import gtk"
It gives me access to the critical gui program loop
gtk.main() and main_quit()
I am also very grateful for
import gtk.glade
This lets me open my xml format glade file
gtk.glade.XML("MyGladeFile.glade")
full of defined gtk widgets and the function
signal_autoconnect(dic)
which lets me hang my Python callback routines onto those gtk widgets.
Whew! At least I've gotten started. It sure wasn't easy.
The question is -
What the heck is the pygtk library for?
help(pygtk) tells me not much more than -
"Python bindings for the GTK+ widget set"
Why would I want to "import pygtk" with it's single function
"require(version)"?
What is it supposed to do? Where does it fit in?
Or does it fit in at all?
