Hello Anders,

sorry for the late reply. You may want to check the minimal.py example
from the demos directory. Basically the code looks this way:

from gi.repository import GtkClutter
GtkClutter.init([])
from gi.repository import GObject, Gtk, GtkChamplain

GObject.threads_init()
GtkClutter.init([])

window = Gtk.Window(type=Gtk.WindowType.TOPLEVEL)
window.connect("destroy", Gtk.main_quit)

widget = GtkChamplain.Embed()
widget.set_size_request(640, 480)

window.add(widget)
window.show_all()

Gtk.main()

Make sure you really import and initialize GtkClutter like in the
example. Also check the launcher-gtk.py if you want a more advanced
example. There's currently no python-specific documentation so you may
need to guess the names of functions from their C equivalents. Let me
know if you need some more help.

Cheers,

Jiri
