[Rhythmbox-devel] New plugin help

["Nicholas S. Clarkson" <nclarkson sporadicspeculations com>]

Hello,
   I am attempting to create a plugin for rhythmbox that will save/load 
the search filter text as well as the last playing song. I have not 
written much in python but it seems simple enough.  I was looking 
through the rhythmbox source and noticed that rb-source.c has a signal 
that is emitted when the filter entry box contents are changed.  I 
believe that i just need to connect to this signal for starters. How 
would I go about doing so? Most of the examples I have found use shell 
and shell.get_player so I am unsure how to access the signals in 
rb.Source. Any suggestions or sources of documentation? Here is what I 
have so far:

import rhythmdb, rb
import gtk, gobject
from warnings import warn

class SaveFilterPlugin (rb.Plugin):
   def __init__ (self):
       rb.Plugin.__init__ (self)
      
   def activate (self, shell):
       self.shell = shell
              self.string = "Hello World"
           print self.string
           sp = shell.get_player ()
       self.pec_id = sp.connect ('playing-song-changed', 
self.playing_entry_changed)
               self.source = rb.Source
       self.ent_id = self.source.connect ('filter_changed', 
self.filter_changed)
          
   def deactivate (self, shell):
       del self.shell
           del self.string   
          

   def playing_entry_changed (self, sp, entry):
       print "bob"
          
       def filter_changed (self, source, entry):
           print "yo"


Thanks
