hi everyone, first of all I had written an app using pygtk module and created the GUI with glade.All the development was done on a linux machine and the app was working fine all this tme in linux.
now, the thing is i have to change the development environment to windows. So this means that i have to port the application to work in windows. Initially i thought that porting an application written using a platform independent language and cross-platform window frame work would be a piece of cake. Well i guess all the assumptions end there. unlike linux, in windows pygtk and the GTK frame work are not installed by default. So, long story short. i installed GTK devel, pygtk, pygobject, pycaro, glade ui. Also made a lot of path adjustments (os.path.absolutepath() is not portable i guess) and finally got the app to at least start without showing an error. The problem that i am now facing is that nothing shows up in the app. No menu, buttons, frames or anything else is visible. When i move the cursor over the window it changes into an hour-glass type icon. hoe ever all c++ GTK programs seem to render well. here is a screen shot: http://i36.tinypic.com/x52uk9.jpg i have written below the startup code of the app: import pygtk pygtk.require('2.0') import gtk import gtk.glade from ConfigParser import ConfigParser class jDesk(object): def __init__(self): #self.seclstore.append(["0","Section1"]) #self.catlstore.append(["cat 1"]) self.synclstore = gtk.ListStore(str,str,str,str,str,int) self.seclstore = gtk.ListStore(str,str) self.catlstore = gtk.ListStore(str,str) self.process_glade() def process_glade(self): self.gladefile = "gui.glade" self.glade = gtk.glade.XML(self.gladefile) #windows self.main_window = self.glade.get_widget('MainWindow') #main window self.templatefile = self.glade.get_widget('templatefile') self.imageurl = self.glade.get_widget('imageurl') self.posttitle = self.glade.get_widget('posttitle') self.sectionbox = self.glade.get_widget('sectionbox') self.categorybox = self.glade.get_widget('categorybox') self.demolink = self.glade.get_widget('demolink') self.posttext = self.glade.get_widget('posttext') self.statusbar = self.glade.get_widget('statusbar') self.signal_autoconnect() self.main_window.show() print '===================main wind created=================' def run(self): try: print "Entering GTK main now" gtk.main() print "Leaving GTK main" except: print "Exception in main" if __name__ == "__main__": conf = ConfigParser() conf.read('settings.cfg') gtk.gdk.threads_init() app = jDesk() app.run() i have tried a lot of things, checked up paths, checked libcairo but nothing seems to help.problem seems to be with pygtk since other c++ GTK programs like pedgin and GTK demo rn fine. So maybe is there any pygtk windows bugs that i coming from linux background might not be knowing about or perhaps u have encountered such a problem in the past before ?
