Re: [orca-devel] New gnomegoal: port PyGTK apps to PyGI

[Joseph Scheuhammer <clown utoronto ca>]

To answer my own question:  it looks like a combination of "yes" and "no".

There are definitely changes in how to imports modules.  For example,

> import gtk    # old

> from from gi.repository import Gtk  # new

Also, the name of the module is now in upper case.  Thus, one no longer 
writes "gtk.main()" but "Gtk.main()".

It looks like method names stay the same, for example if "foo" is a 
checkbox, use foo.set_active() to make that checkbox checked.

Still, there are a number of "constants" that are referenced differently:

> Gdk.screen_width        # old

> Gdk.Screen.width        # new


The differences are documented in this script:
