[pygtk] Large textview textbuffers files

Ah, yes. No newlines. Some of the content would be the result of something 
like this:

textview.set_buffer( bin2ascci.b2a( open( "myfile.zip", "rb+" ).read() ) ) )

Not actual code btw, but the idea :)
Basically, I wanted to view the hex of some files (and others in different 
ways)

I guess the workaround would be to insert new lines ;)

It'll be good though. Arranging the hex in blocks was a goal once I got the 
basics done.
If the line breaks don't work, I'll probably be back with more questions.
Otherwise, thanks for the tip..

And thanks to tony for the tip on using google, didn't know the pipermail 
directory could be searched like that. Once you see it, though, it makes me 
think it should have been obvious to me..
oh well.
