[pygtk] self from gtk.builder

[Leon Bogaert]

Thanks Marco,

Messing with __getattr__... I think I'm going to let that pass. It feels kinda messy.
I'm just begining with gtk and I've been browsing through other people's code but I find it difficult to organize my gtk code.

Regards,
Leon

yes but it doesn't do what you think: it rebinds the name `self` to the
builder object but the other references point to the `ActionsMenu`.

what you can do is something like the following:

        class BaseWindow(object):

                def __init__(self, builder, auto_connect=True):
                        self.__builder = builder
                        if auto_connect:
                                builder.connect_signals(self)

                def __getattr__(self, n):
                        w = self.__builder.get_object(n)
                        if w is not None:
                                return w
                        raise AttributeError, n

or even, but not tested:

                ...
                def __getattr__(self, n):
                        w = self.__builder.get_object(n)
                        if w is not None:
                                setattr(self, n, w) # here the point
                                return w
                        raise AttributeError, n

m.
