[pygtk] General PyGtk design question

[Walter Leibbrandt]

Good day,

I would just like to ask a question about the design of PyGtk: What were =

the reasons for the C-like deisgn of PyGtk? For example having to use =

"label.set_text('bleh')" in stead of "label.text =3D 'bleh'" and "txt =3D =

label.get_text()" in stead of "txt =3D label.text".

Not that I'm criticizing, I was just wondering since I've used Gtk# =

before PyGtk and its C# adaptation works quite well. I know Python =

language features are used to a certain extent (ie. iterating over a =

gtk.ListStore), but the question remains. It seems that Python =

properties are the only example I can think of now, and if PyGtk has =

been around since before Python 2.2, that could answer my question. Can =

anyone confirm this or are there other reasons?

Thanks in advance,

Walter
