[pygtk] Interactive PyGTK shell that works on win32 as well

[Leandro Lameiro]

Ahn. Maybe it is because I am using Ubuntu Edgy, which is not ready for
production use yet, but, I think I found the reason.

lameiro at lameiro-laptop:~$ ipython
Python 2.4.4c0 (#2, Jul  4 2006, 18:39:05)

In [1]: import gtk

In [2]: print "\n".join(filter(lambda x: x[0] =3D=3D "F", dir(gtk.keysyms))=
) #
Nothing the first time


In [3]: print "\n".join(filter(lambda x: x[0] =3D=3D "F", dir(gtk.keysyms )=
)) #
OK now!
F
F1
F10
F11
F12
F13
F14
[continues]
First_Virtual_Screen

or, isolating the problem:

In [1]: import gtk

In [2]: gtk.keysyms
Out[2]: <gtk._lazyutils.LazyModule object at 0xb6eecfac> ### Ahnn. Lazy...

In [3]: dir(gtk.keysyms) # Errr...
Out[3]:
['__class__',
 '__delattr__',
 '__dict__',
 '__doc__',
 '__getattr__',
 '__getattribute__',
 '__hash__',
 '__init__',
 '__module__',
 '__new__',
 '__reduce__',
 '__reduce_ex__',
 '__repr__',
 '__setattr__',
 '__str__',
 '__weakref__',
 '_locals',
 '_modname',
 '_name']

In [4]: gtk.keysyms
Out[4]: <module 'gtk.keysyms' from '/var/lib/python-support/python2.4/gtk-
2.0/gtk/keysyms.pyc'> # Module changed...

In [5]: dir(gtk.keysyms)
Out[5]:
*Huge list of strings with F11 and all the others*

so, the problem is with lazy modules not "waking up"

then I read at http://www.nabble.com/dynamic-namespace-t2018133.html (method
__getattr__) of LazyModule how to get the whole module, not the lazy
version.
Now it is working this way:

Instead of:

class Keys(object):

    keysyms =3D gtk.keysyms
    gdk =3D gtk.gdk

I'm using:

class Keys(object):

    keysyms =3D __import__(gtk.keysyms._name, gtk.keysyms._locals, {}, ' ')=
 #
Getting the whole module gtk.keysyms

# Didn't touch the rest of code

Works fine.

Is it a bug in Ubuntu, PyGTK or the interactive shell? or None?
