1 """To use ROX-Lib2 you need to copy the findrox.py script into your application
2 directory and import that before anything else. This module will locate
3 ROX-Lib2 and add ROX-Lib2/python to sys.path. If ROX-Lib2 is not found, it
4 will display a suitable error and quit.
6 Since the name of the gtk2 module can vary, it is best to import it from rox,
7 where it is named 'g'.
9 The AppRun script of a simple application might look like this:
11 #!/usr/bin/env python
12 import findrox; findrox.version(1, 9, 12)
13 import rox
15 window = rox.Window()
16 window.set_title('My window')
17 window.show()
19 rox.mainloop()
21 This program creates and displays a window. The rox.Window widget keeps
22 track of how many toplevel windows are open. rox.mainloop() will return
23 when the last one is closed.
25 'rox.app_dir' is set to the absolute pathname of your application (extracted
26 from sys.argv).
28 The builtin names True and False are defined to 1 and 0, if your version of
29 python is old enough not to include them already.
