Python Language Bindings for GtkExtra

GtkExtra is a useful set of widgets for the GIMP Toolkit, aka GTK+. It provides a spreadsheet-like matrix widget and widgets for 2-D and 3-D graphing. You can find more information, download the source code and view screenshots on the GtkExtra Widget Set Home Page.

The Python language bindings allow you to use the GtkExtra widget set in programs written in the powerful Python language.

The bindings require GtkExtra and PyGTK. The popular Numerical Python is optional.

The bindings are distributed under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License.
