[pygtk] ANNOUNCE: DateEdit widget for linux and win32

[Fabian Sturm]

Hi!

I finally finished my dateedit widget, it is not yet thoroughly tested
but all I tested worked fine.

It is not an exact port of the libgnomeui widget, since I think some
changes make more sense for a python widget (e.g. datetime as return
type instead of epoch).

I also hope to make this a bug free and documented widget, since I
couldn't find any simple but still feature complete custom gobject in
python. So I hope many people will comment on this so that it can be
used as reference for other developers.


Things which still bug me:

- constructor
The original gnome-dateedit has two constructors, unfortunately with
overlapping but different parameters, so they can't just be merged into
one python constructor with named parameters.
So far I only got one response on this problem.

- destruction
The original version has these additional functions:
free_resources, mnemonic_activate, destroy, finalize
I don't know what of this is needed for python, so some comments would
be great.

- show_all
if you add this widget to a window and then do a window.show_all() the
dateedit widget will show the time entry, even though it should be
hidden by the show_time = False flag.
I can't see the difference to the c widget so I need help here too!

- todos
I have several todos at various places in the source, most are just
spots which should be verified by other developers

Thanks a lot, Fabian

P.s. I will set up a webpage for the widget and announce it once more at
the list when the above stuff is resolved.
