[pygtk] Re: Retrieveing a GConf pair

[Arnau Sanchez]

Hi,

I've never used gconf, but after playing a bit I got that:

import gconf
client = gconf.client_get_default()
key = "/system/proxy/socks_port"
val = client.get(key)
print "key:", key
# the value type is an emum, not python types
print "type:", val.type
strvalue = val.to_string()
print "string:", type(strvalue), strvalue
x = gconf.Value
totype = {gconf.VALUE_INT: x.get_int, gconf.VALUE_BOOL: x.get_bool} # complete!
value = totype[val.type](val)
print "value:", type(value), value

Peter, is that what you needed?

regards
arnau
