Dear Jonathan,
I don't see it as an API reference manual, because that would mean that
one has to maintain that manually and update it if the C reference
changes. Ultimately, this will lead to the python reference being behind
the C reference all the time.
Yes, that's the problem I was actually thinking of. But seeing things
like this
http://python-gtk-3-tutorial.readthedocs.org/en/latest/treeview.html#Gtk.TreeModel
for example, the boundary is very thin.
How far this tutorial is this kind of documentation is "supposed" to go?

It is a legitimate question;  but telling someone to go look at the
C-docs is also (a) not great marketing and (b) will scare people off.

BTW, these docs are great.  Especially TreeView, ListStore, and there
brethren can be very hard to get a grasp on.

My main purpose was indeed to write a tutorial with examples and
documentation for the functions and classes that were used in this
example. If you want to add additional examples which explain widgets
that are currently not part of the tutorial, I'd be happy to add them.
I'll probably submit some updates then. What would be the process to
submit things? (where, how?)
