GtkBuilder on IronPython

Someone asked me if I could add the missing parts of GtkBuilder in Gtk#Beans so he could use it with IronPython on mono.

Hey, it looks there's no missing parts ! It all works fine since day one. Here's the the trick:

import clr
clr.AddReference('glib-sharp')
clr.AddReference('gtk-sharp')
clr.AddReference('gtk-sharp-beans')
import Gtk
import GLib
import GtkBeans
import System.IO

def PyBuilderAutoconnect(builder, target):
def _connect(builder, object, signal_name, handler_name, connect_object, flags):
    name = ''.join([frag.title() for frag in signal_name.split('_')])
    event = getattr(object, name)
    event += getattr(target, handler_name)

for object in builder.Objects:
    setattr(target, object.Name, object)
builder.ConnectSignalsFull (_connect)

class Application:
def __init__(self):
    builder = GtkBeans.Builder (System.IO.FileStream ('ui.ui', System.IO.FileMode.Open))
    #use this ctor if you don't like FileStream
    #builder = GtkBeans.Builder ()
    #builder.AddFromFile ('./ui.ui')

    PyBuilderAutoconnect (builder, self)
    self.window1.ShowAll ()

def onbuttonclicked(self, o, args):
    Gtk.Application.Quit()

Gtk.Application.Init ()
app = Application ()
Gtk.Application.Run ()

Now your IronPython skills are ready to rock Gnome3!
