It seems there is a bug in the cygwin version of the python Gtk.Builder.connect_signals(). Calling this function seg faults. I have been unable to determine the root cause but I have found a work around. The issue can be reproduced using the demo program from:
http://python-gtk-3-tutorial.readthedocs.org/en/latest/builder.html Also important is that this demo runs w/o problem on an older (Feb 2015) cygwin installation. This is for python version 2.7 and gtk3 running on windows 7. Attached is the cygcheck from the problem system. The demo program: -------------------------------- import gi gi.require_version('Gtk', '3.0') from gi.repository import Gtk class Handler: def onDeleteWindow(self, *args): Gtk.main_quit(*args) def onButtonPressed(self, button): print("Hello World!") builder = Gtk.Builder() builder.add_from_file("builder_example.glade") builder.connect_signals(Handler()) window = builder.get_object("window1") window.show_all() Gtk.main() ----------------------------------- builder_example_glade: ----------------------------------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <interface> <!-- interface-requires gtk+ 3.0 --> <object class="GtkWindow" id="window1"> <property name="can_focus">False</property> <signal name="delete-event" handler="onDeleteWindow" swapped="no"/> <child> <object class="GtkButton" id="button1"> <property name="label" translatable="yes">button</property> <property name="use_action_appearance">False</property> <property name="visible">True</property> <property name="can_focus">True</property> <property name="receives_default">True</property> <property name="use_action_appearance">False</property> <signal name="pressed" handler="onButtonPressed" swapped="no"/> </object> </child> </object> </interface> -------------------------------------- my work around: -------------------------------------- import gi gi.require_version('Gtk', '3.0') from gi.repository import Gtk class Handler: def onDeleteWindow(self, *args): Gtk.main_quit(*args) def onButtonPressed(self, button): print("Hello World!") builder = Gtk.Builder() builder.add_from_file("builder_example.glade") window = builder.get_object("window1") handler = Handler() window.connect("delete-event", handler.onDeleteWindow) button = builder.get_object("button1") button.connect("pressed", handler.onButtonPressed) window.show_all() Gtk.main() -------------------------------------- Terrence Kovacs Research Systems Engineer Physics and Astronomy Department Dartmouth College Wilder 341, 603-646-9303
