It is defined in the description of TreeModel:


"A path is essentially a potential node. It is a location on a model
 that may or may not actually correspond to a node on a specific model. A
 path can be converted into either an array of unsigned integers or a
 string. The string form is a list of numbers separated by a colon. Each
 number refers to the offset at that level. Thus, the path "0" refers to
 the root node and the path "2:4" refers to the fifth child of the third
 node."


Maybe there should be a reference in the docs of get_iter_from_string

Send an email at <finlay at moeraki.com> or file a bug report at
bugzilla.gnome.org  as said in "Introduction".

I don't know. It's the way it is done in GDK and PyGtk just wrapps it.

That's what I'm doing too.
