gobject Constants the built-in constants of the gobject module The Param Flag constants are a set of bit-flags that specify certain aspects of parameters that can be configured. gobject.PARAM_READABLE The parameter is readable gobject.PARAM_WRITABLE The parameter is writable gobject.PARAM_CONSTRUCT The parameter will be set upon object construction gobject.PARAM_CONSTRUCT_ONLY The parameter will only be set upon object construction gobject.PARAM_LAX_VALIDATION Upon parameter conversion strict validation is not required The Signal Flag constants are a set of bit-flags that specify a signal's behavior. The overall signal description outlines how especially the RUN flags control the stages of a signal emission. gobject.SIGNAL_RUN_FIRST Invoke the object method handler in the first emission stage. gobject.SIGNAL_RUN_LAST Invoke the object method handler in the third emission stage. gobject.SIGNAL_RUN_CLEANUP Invoke the object method handler in the last emission stage. gobject.SIGNAL_NO_RECURSE Signals being emitted for an object while currently being in emission for this very object will not be emitted recursively, but instead cause the first emission to be restarted. gobject.SIGNAL_DETAILED This signal supports "::detail" appendices to the signal name upon handler connections and emissions. gobject.SIGNAL_ACTION Action signals are signals that may freely be emitted on alive objects from user code via the gobject.emit() method and friends, without the need of being embedded into extra code that performs pre or post emission adjustments on the object. They can also be thought of as object methods which can be called generically by third-party code. gobject.SIGNAL_NO_HOOKS No emissions hooks are supported for this signal. The Spawn Flag constants are a set of bit-flags that can be passed to the gobject.spawn_async() function. gobject.SPAWN_LEAVE_DESCRIPTORS_OPEN the parent's open file descriptors will be inherited by the child; otherwise all descriptors except stdin/stdout/stderr will be closed before calling exec() in the child. gobject.SPAWN_DO_NOT_REAP_CHILD the child will not be automatically reaped; you must call waitpid() or handle SIGCHLD yourself, or the child will become a zombie. gobject.SPAWN_SEARCH_PATH argv[0] need not be an absolute path, it will be looked for in the user's PATH. gobject.SPAWN_STDOUT_TO_DEV_NULL the child's standard output will be discarded, instead of going to the same location as the parent's standard output. gobject.SPAWN_STDERR_TO_DEV_NULL the child's standard error will be discarded. gobject.SPAWN_CHILD_INHERITS_STDIN the child will inherit the parent's standard input (by default, the child's standard input is attached to /dev/null). gobject.SPAWN_FILE_AND_ARGV_ZERO the first element of argv is the file to execute, while the remaining elements are the actual argument vector to pass to the file. Normally gobject.spawn_async() uses argv[0] as the file to execute, and passes all of argv to the child. The Built-in Type constants specify the pre-defined types used by gobject. gobject.TYPE_INVALID An invalid type, used as error return value in some functions. gobject.TYPE_NONE A fundamental type indicating no type. gobject.TYPE_INTERFACE The fundamental type from which all interfaces are derived. gobject.TYPE_CHAR The fundamental type corresponding to a character. This maps to a string in Python. gobject.TYPE_UCHAR The fundamental type corresponding to an unsigned character. This maps to a string in Python. gobject.TYPE_BOOLEAN The fundamental type corresponding to a True or False value. This maps to an integer in Python. gobject.TYPE_INT The fundamental type corresponding to an integer. This maps to an integer in Python. gobject.TYPE_UINT he fundamental type corresponding to an unsigned integer. This maps to an integer in Python. gobject.TYPE_LONG The fundamental type corresponding to a long integer. This maps to an integer in Python. gobject.TYPE_ULONG The fundamental type corresponding to an unsigned integer. This maps to an integer in Python. gobject.TYPE_INT64 The fundamental type corresponding to an long long integer. This maps to a long integer in Python. gobject.TYPE_UINT64 The fundamental type corresponding to an unsigned long long integer. This maps to a long integer in Python. gobject.TYPE_ENUM The fundamental type corresponding to an enumeration type. This maps to an integer in Python. gobject.TYPE_FLAGS The fundamental type corresponding to a flag type. This maps to an integer in Python. gobject.TYPE_FLOAT The fundamental type corresponding to a floating point number. This maps to a float in Python. gobject.TYPE_DOUBLE The fundamental type corresponding to a double floating point number. This maps to a float in Python. gobject.TYPE_STRING The fundamental type corresponding to a string. gobject.TYPE_POINTER The fundamental type corresponding to a pointer to an anonymous type. This has no corresponding Python type. gobject.TYPE_BOXED The fundamental type corresponding to a boxed object type. gobject.TYPE_PARAM The fundamental type corresponding to a GParamSpec type. gobject.TYPE_OBJECT The fundamental type corresponding to a GObject type. gobject.TYPE_PYOBJECT The fundamental type corresponding to a Python Object type. The Version constants specify the version of GLIB used by PyGTK as a 3-tuple containing the major, minor and patch release numbers. gobject.glib_version A 3-tuple containing (major, minor, patch) release numbers.
