PyGUI show_text()

[Arnd]

Heya,

any PyGUI users out there?

I needed some finer text-positioning on a canvas (ie wanted to center
a string wrt a point, something show_text() doesn't provide) So I
looked into the sources and found all information, eg the dimensions
of the surrounding rectangle
are given by
mycanvas._font._get_pango_layout(mystring, True).get_pixel_size()

>From this one can calculate a new basepoint, this works fine. I wonder
if there is a more elegant way I've overseen so far. (Or if not,
Greg ;) would it be possible to include some optional positioning
parameters, something like left,center,right,top,middle,bottom to
show_text()).

All in all thanks a lot for PyGUI, even if it's still far away from
beeing complete.
To me it really brought back some fun in python-gui-programming.
