quickstart

quickstart is a python3 library that has the aim to ease and reduce the work needed to create rich, interactive, GTK3 based graphical applications.

What does it provide?

Currently (2013-12-26):

  • Easy load of GtkBuilder UI files
  • A dynamic dictionary where the widgets are stored, removing the need to always call builder.get_object() to get a widget.
  • Easy load of a custom CSS file to further customize the look and feel of the application
  • Easy to use helpers to get objects connected without wasting precious lines of code
  • Easy to use threads
  • Scenes support
  • Translations
  • And more to come...

Examples, please!

from gi.repository import Gtk, GObject

import time
import quickstart

@quickstart.style.custom_css("./tropez.css")
@quickstart.builder.from_file("./prova.glade")
class GUI:
	
	events = {
		"clicked": ("button1","button2",),
		"destroy": ("main_window",)
	}
	
	def on_main_window_destroy(self, window):
		
		Gtk.main_quit()
	
	def on_button1_clicked(self, button):
		
		button.set_label("Hey!")
	
	@quickstart.threads.thread
	def on_button2_clicked(self, button):
		
		for item in range(100):
			print item
			GObject.idle_add(button.set_label, str(item))
			time.sleep(0.1)
		print "END"
	
	def __init__(self):
		
		self.objects["label1"].set_markup("<b>HELLO QUICKSTART!</b>")
		self.objects["main_window"].show_all()
		
		self.objects["button1"].set_label("Click me!")
