[pygtk] ANNOUNCE : a PyGTK Markup Tooltips module

[Franck PEREZ]

Hello everyone,

Like many people, I needed a markup tooltips for my PyGTK
applications. Since gedit guys did most of the work, I borrowed their
C source code and made a wrapper with codegen.

The Python module can be downloaded here :

See a screenshot :

Both source code and compiled version (a .so file for Linux) are
available. A sample script is available as well.

You have to copy the shared object where you need it, it's very basic
and I apologize for that.

You use gtkmarkuptooltips.MarkupTooltips() the way you'd use
gtk.Tooltips(), except that the tip can be something like "A
<i>hint</i> in <b>bold</b>".

This is my first Python module, comments welcomed. For instance, it
would be great to extend pygtk to simply call gtk.MarkupTooltips() but
I had no time yet to look at that yet.

Hope it helps, though.
