[ANNOUNCE] PyGTK 2.15.0 - unstable

Recommended Posts

A new unstable development release of the Python bindings

for GTK+ has been released.

 

The new release is available from ftp.gnome.org and its mirrors

as soon as its synced correctly:

 

http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/pygtk/2.15/

 

Blurb:

 

GTK+ is a toolkit for developing graphical applications that run on

systems such as Linux, Windows and MacOS X. It provides a comprehensive set

of GUI widgets, can display Unicode bidi text. It links into the Gnome

Accessibility Framework through the ATK library.

 

PyGTK provides a convenient wrapper for the GTK+ library for use in

Python programs, and takes care of many of the boring details such as

managing memory and type casting. When combined with PyORBit and

gnome-python, it can be used to write full featured Gnome applications.

 

Like the GTK+ library itself PyGTK is licensed under the GNU LGPL, so is

suitable for use in both free software and proprietary applications. It

is already in use in many applications ranging from small single purpose

scripts up to large full features applications.

 

What's new since 2.14.1?

- Update pygtk to use numpy instead of Numeric

(Josselin Mouette, Brian Cameron, #397544)

- Update the address of the FSF (Tobias Mueller, #577154)

- Wrap gtk_builder_add_objects_from_string and

gtk_builder_add_objects_from_file.

- Add GTK+ 2.16 API (Gian)

- wrap gtk.IconView.convert_widget_to_bin_window_coords (Gian)

- add gtk.gdk.Window.redirect_to_drawable (Gian)

- add GtkNumberUpLayout enum (Gian)

- some method argument fixes (Gian)

- add gtk.PrintSettings.[get|set]_number_up_layout (Gian)

- Some demo fixes (Gian, Andi Albrecht)

- Add various deprecation warnings (Gian Mario)

 

PyGTK requires GTK+ >= 2.8.0 and Python >= 2.3.5 to build.

 

Bug reports, as always, should go to Bugzilla; check out

http://pygtk.org/developer.html and http://pygtk.org/feedback.html for

links to posting and querying bug reports for PyGTK.

 

cheers
