New version of gnome-python and pygtk.



I have just released new versions of pygtk and gnome-python.

The new features of pygtk-0.5.11 are:
  - ability to modify style attributes (eg style.font = some_font).
  - some functions that could accept NULL for some of there arguments were
    unable to in previous versions of pygtk.  You can now pass None for
    these arguments, as you would expect.
  - updated the XML parsing code for the pyglade module so that it will
    use xmllib if it is available (if not, use the older less robust code)
  - Added a file MAPPING that should help people understand how the C GTK
    functions map onto the python interface (this should allow people to
    use some of the C documentation and examples to help them learn
    pygtk).
  - some other bug fixes.

Since gnome-python includes pygtk, it also contains its bug fixes.
Changes specific to gnome-python-0.100 are:
  - some functions that should have accepted None as an argument do so
    now.
  - some bug fixes to the gnome.ui module.
  - the zvt module should compile and run properly now.
  - the gnome-python.spec file doesn't leave out gtk.py (which caused big
    problems for people trying to build and use RPMs).

They are both available from
  ftp://ftp.daa.com.au/pub/james/python/

pygtk-0.5.11 will soon also be available from
  ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/python/

and gnome-python-0.100 is also available from
  ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/latest/
