[gugmasters] Python GTK+ 3 Tutorial

[Frederic Muller <fredm gnome org>]

Dear GUGers!

Considering that summer has passed (or is almost here if you live in the 
southern hemisphere) it's probably time to resume frantic GUG meetings 
and fish for topics.

I believe not all of you follow planet GNOME and I would like to draw 
your attention to a new tutorial that Sebastian Pölsterl and a few other 
people have put together that covers using the latest GTK+ 3 with python.

The full tutorial is available here: 
http://python-gtk-3-tutorial.readthedocs.org/en/latest/index.html

and there is enough material to make a 20/30 minutes presentation to 
your group and entice them to try writing simple applications for GNOME 
latest version. You could maybe even run a best app competition 
organized as a 1 day hackfest!

As you might as well be aware of, GNOME 3.2 has been released and at 
least Fedora 16 and OpenSUSE 12.1 (Beta available for both) will ship 
with it. Ubuntu 11.10 (beta at the time of this writing) also includes 
Gnome 3.2 which is available from the repositories (not the install CD).

For other distributions please check directly with them or you can also 
build GNOME from source (worth a different presentation).

I thought that was worth mentioning.

All the best.


Fred
