[pygtk] Implementing command history with a gtk.Entry

[N. French]

I tried following the faq but when I try to connect to the 'mykeypress'
signal I get this:

  File "/root/dev/test/hardware/python/nw_gtk.py", line 50, in __init__
    self.entry.connect('mykeypress', self.up_arrow)
TypeError: unknown signal name

Here's my class code.  I think this is nearly identical to the faq
entry I was following
(http://www.async.com.br/faq/pygtk/index.py?req=show&file=faq23.034.htp).
 Anyone see where I'm going wrong?

class EntryWithKeyPresses(gtk.Entry):
    __gsignals__ = dict(
        mykeypress = (
        gobject.SIGNAL_RUN_LAST | gobject.SIGNAL_ACTION,
	    None, # return value
	    (str,) # arguments
        )
    )

gtk.binding_entry_add_signal(EntryWithKeyPresses, gtk.keysyms.Up, 0,
'mykeypress', str, 'Up')
gtk.binding_entry_add_signal(EntryWithKeyPresses, gtk.keysyms.Down, 0,
'mykeypress', str, 'Down')
