Python 3 support about screenkey HOT 13 CLOSED

python-xlib is no longer used and Screenkey/keylistener.py works correctly with gi/GLib and python3.
pygtk is not available on python3 though, meaning that a full transition to gi/gtk3 is required.

how can i test the python3 branch

from screenkey.

There's no branch for python 3. The internal key handling library is python3-compatible, but the current GUI is still based on gtk2 and must be rewritten for python-gi.

thanx, I'm trying to port into py3, I have come up to bare workable version but much things to be done.

from screenkey.

Strictly speaking, I'd like to ditch most of the current gui building code and use something like glade to construct the UI instead. Several parts of the listener also need changes to display mouse activity, which is now recorded but didn't finish displaying the status yet.

How is this going? Need help?

@rhoit Could you summarize what else is needed until it's complete? I might spend some time on it.
Is there interest in this - @wavexx at what point would you consider it mergeable?

from screenkey.

@wavexx could you comment about https://github.com/rhoit/screenkey/commits/py3-port ? Do you consider it a good start for the port to Python3?

I haven't worked much in the preferences, the core thing is runnable, but it doesn't render the symbols. I will get back with screenshot and detail later till tommorow got to run now.

• build preference, make change preference to reflect in UI
• show mouse information.
• movable ui widget and auto font resizing.
