Glade Gtk Python Tutorial

You magnum opus is looking very good JT

Most people (myself included) learn what they need for themselves and then move on, leaving everyone else that follows to take the same tortuous path to enlightenment.

Not many then set out all they learned in a concise guide to simplify things for others

Well done

John I'm making good progress thanks to your tutorials but I've run into a problem, I'm working on the section for part 06c, when I run the launcher I get the error message Ive seen before when trying to run on a system not actually connected to a machine:

Is there a way I can run this in simulation mode by changing a few things. I have the sim system loaded on another computer.
