[pygtk] Help passing a widget to another class instance

[Kim Adil]

Solved:

I had to add a self.xxx variable to the init method of the page class 
and make it equal to the pparent, so that the "save" method on the page 
class had a variable it could access. I would be interested in what 
people consider "good practice in this sort of situation.
