What is easygconf?

easygconf provids an easy, pythonic way to access GConf through a dict-like interface.

from easygconf import GConfDict
import gtk


key = 'test'
gc=GConfDict('/apps/easygconftest')

print "%s is %s"%(key, gc[key])
gc[key] = 'foo'
print "Now %s is %s"%(key, gc[key])


def callback (key, value, gconfdict, id, args):
    print "%s changed to %s"%(key, value)

gc.add_listener('test', callback)
try:
    gtk.main()
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    pass
gc.unset('test')

Status

easygconf is alpha software. So far it seems to work for me but it may have severe bugs I didn’t noticed yet. Use it at your own risk.

easygconf is still under development and the API may change in the future.

Requirements

easygconf needs the Python bindings for GNOME
