Asunto: Pythonol on OS X

I got pythonol running on OS X without having to try
very hard. GtkArrow seems to be missing from pygtk
for unknown reasons, so I had to change two lines in
pythonolui.py - comment out 715-716 and add text to
the right and left Button instances just above.
Speech is missing of course. It probably wouldn't be
too difficult to get it working by wrapping Apple's
speech services.
Thanks
NOTE: The problem with the 'GtkArrow' the user is referring to in the above email was a problem exclusive to Pythoñol version 2.0 and earlier. This problem has been fixed as of Pythoñol version 2.1 in an effort to make Pythoñol more compatible with the Mac OS X operating system. (Gtk stock icons have now replaced the missing 'GtkArrow' widget.) In addition, the user's idea to wrap Apple's Speech Services to create a text-to-speech plugin is perfectly legal for personal use; however, such a plugin CANNOT be distributed to anyone. Doing so would violate the License Agreement, since Apple's Speech Services are closed-source/proprietary software. (The license strictly prohibits distribution of any plugins or modified versions of the code that rely upon closed-source or proprietary software.)
ATTENTION Mac OS X Users: Pythoñol is a LINUX application. It was initially designed for Linux and will always be a Linux/Unix application FIRST. Mac OS X users should NOT expect the same stability and quality as the Linux version, and some features are missing in the Mac OS X version (most notably, printing and text-to-speech support.) Important Note: As of version 2.1, the Gtk theme and font used by Pythoñol and PyBabelPhish are managed by the application using a theme selector. This means that Mac OS X users can now easily change the look and feel of the application with 'skins' (Gtk-2 themes). If you have your own Gtk-2 themes you wish to use with the application, simply copy their directories into the Pythoñol/PyBabelPhish themes directory. If you get a series of Gtk 'font fallback' warnings, you should use the Theme Selector to change the font to one that exists on your system:
Theme and Font Selector - on SuSE Linux (Click image to enlarge.)
- Printing under Mac OS X is NOT supported, and there are no plans to support printing on Mac OS X in the future. If you want to print something from Pythoñol, you will have to save the content to a file and print from an external application.
- PyBabelPhish does not yet support all the languages available through the translation services, particularly languages using Asian, Cyrillic, and Persian character sets. No immediate plans are in place to implement support for this.
