[pygtk] How to embed pygtk into a glade created gui?

[Kosa]

Well, I  FINALLY found a way to do it.

The trick is: first you have to get the hbox (or vbox)
as a variable using "hbox = self.xml.get_widget("glade_hbox")
and then put things into it using pack_start.

I mean, you can use glade to create a gui and you can name a frame,
an vbox, an hbox or something with anyname you want. Then you just
put pure pygtk widgets using pack_start like this..

glade_file = your_glade_file.glade
xml = glade.XML(galde_file,None, None)
window = = xml.get_widget("window") # "window" is the name of a window 
you created using glade
hbox__1 = xml.get_widget("hbox_1") # wich is a hbox you puted inside the 
"window"

# once done that you create something using pygtk... it this case it 
would be a calendar...

calendar = gtk.Calendar()

# and you just ut it inide the "hbox_1" like this...

hbox.pack_start(calendar,False,False,100)
# Is still  don't understand what are "False,False," but it has to be a 
integer,
#100 is somehow the margin and it can be any number

#Then you just call the window using
window.show_all()

#You need to write a line for every thing you want to put into the box.
#If you want to put a button with the text "hola mundo", you would need 
a line like this
button = gtk.Button(label = "hola mundo" #to declare "button"
#and a line like this
hbox.pack_start(button,False,False,100) #to append it into the hbox
#Do not forget the last step is calling the window using window.show:all()

That's it. Sorry for my bad english and thanks for you help.
