Gtk+3 and Python3 status?

Asked by Kosyne

Google shows that its been some time since this subject was brought up: https://lists.launchpad.net/zim-wiki/msg01855.html

I was wondering what the status on this is, particularly Gtk+ 3. As it is now, PyGObject seems to be supported on windows just fine:
https://wiki.gnome.org/action/show/Projects/PyGObject

In particular, spellchecking (which I'm at my wit's end trying to fix) should be easier on windows as gtkspell 3 comes with the installer.

Afraid no progress has been made and it is not very high on my work list.
Help with porting the code base to Gtk3 would be appreciated.

Regards,

Jaap

Thanks for the reply, and yeah, that's understandable. Gtk+ isn't my specialty, but I was toying with the idea of porting it, so I may go ahead and do that in my spare time.

Also, fixed spellcheck under windows (gtkspell and gtkspellcheck). Needed to include enchant's data files to the setup.

Maybe you could share how you installed the spellchecking as a step by step
guide on the wiki? (http://www.zim-wiki.org/wiki/) I regularly get
questions about this, so would help to have a place to send people for info.

Would also love to have it included in the windows installer as it would
help a lot of users to have it included. Need to contact Brendan to make
that happen (see the website with the windows installer for contact info).

Jaap
