commit df0e5d0ca45f0c304fab0362ce7327cea0b2df5e Author: Kamran Riaz Khan <krkhan@inspirated.com> Date: Sat Jul 23 06:20:05 2011 +0500 Python black-magic to connect lists with liststores. The ConfigPanel.confImportantContents is patched via Python property() in such a way that assigning lists to it automatically updates the liststore. The setter/getter is really ugly and hard to read, and serves only the purpose that the CLI portion does not need to be changed at all for this to work. Once library/CLI/GUI is decoupled this obscure piece of dark magic shall be gone for good. --- src/gui/configPanel.py | 25 +++++++++++++++++++++++-- src/util/gtkTools.py | 7 +++++++ 2 files changed, 30 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/gui/configPanel.py b/src/gui/configPanel.py index 46f9aa7..e0fb8dc 100644 --- a/src/gui/configPanel.py +++ b/src/gui/configPanel.py @@ -23,14 +23,35 @@ class ConfContents(gtkTools.ListWrapper): return row -class ConfigPanel(CliConfigPanel): +class ConfigPanel(object, CliConfigPanel): def __init__(self, builder): CliConfigPanel.__init__(self, None, State.TOR) self.builder = builder listStore = self.builder.get_object('liststore_config') - self.confImportantContents = ConfContents(self.confImportantContents, listStore) + self._confImportantContents = ConfContents(self.confImportantContents, listStore) + + self.confImportantContents = self.confImportantContents[-5:] + + @property + def confImportantContents(self): + if hasattr(self, '_confImportantContents'): + return self._confImportantContents + else: + return [] + + @confImportantContents.setter + def confImportantContents(self, value): + if hasattr(self, '_confImportantContents'): + try: + self._confImportantContents.empty() + except AttributeError: + pass + for entry in value: + self._confImportantContents.append(entry) + else: + self._confImportantContents = value def pack_widgets(self): treeView = self.builder.get_object('treeview_config') diff --git a/src/util/gtkTools.py b/src/util/gtkTools.py index 2d00621..5ad321e 100644 --- a/src/util/gtkTools.py +++ b/src/util/gtkTools.py @@ -32,6 +32,10 @@ class ListWrapper(object): self.container.append(entry) gobject.idle_add(self.__model_append, entry) + def empty(self): + self.container = [] + gobject.idle_add(self.__model_clear) + def __str__(self): return str(self.container) @@ -62,6 +66,9 @@ class ListWrapper(object): row = self._create_row_from_entry(entry) self.model.append(row) + def __model_clear(self): + self.model.clear() + def __model_del(self, key): treeIter = self.model.get_iter(key) self.model.remove(treeIter)
