Learn PyGTK and help Gnome grow bigger!

This post was made with another stylesheet and it might be messed up!

Few days ago we had post how you can install and run the Gnome Clocks App from Gnome Git. Clock Apps is the first official module of Gnome that is written in a script language (python).

Gnome hacker Seif Lotfy asks people to help in Gnome Clocks, so here is your chance to involve with Gnome. 

 

Clocks Apps is an extremely easy project to start with your contribution and meet the people behind the scenes, which by the way are very cool guys. All the developers are cool :)

This is how about Clocks looks like.

Seif says  ”It is all written in python so it should be easy to just jump in and contribute to a “core app” for GNOME. We need some help with our bugs and most help with autofoo and hosting on jhbuild. So if you are up for it you can find me or allan on #gnome-design & #gnome-clocks and files bugs at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=product:%22clocks%22+

While I prefer Gjs as the main scripting language of Gnome Apps and I started writing some demonstration samples, Python isn’t a bad option either, but it definitely lacks behind JavaScript in dynamic, recognition and support. Anyway, if you want to keep up with Python I discovered this excellent Python/GTK3 tutorial that you must see!

    I thought they were trying to cut down on different languages being used?

      Yes, they just try them all first, to choose from :)
