Re: [pygtk] Finding out a widget's parent

[David Everly <deckrider yahoo com>]

The following has worked for me:

I have a reference to a window called selectionWin, which is a
GtkFileSelection.  I wanted to hide the file component, since I only
want the user to select directories.  However, a scroll bar was left
behind that I didn't have a name for, so I did this:

selectionWin.__getattr__('file_list')['parent'].hide()
