[Tutor] 2 Combo Boxes! What was I thinking?

[Liam Clarke]

Hi John,

I'm going to take a wild stab... (but as Kent said, wxPython or pyGTK?)

Combo3.child.append_text("Mon")

Okay, so, the DeprecationWarning you need to pay attention to, but
that aside, according to the pyGTK docs:

http://www.pygtk.org/pygtk2reference/class-gtkcomboboxentry.html#function-gtk--combo-box-entry-new-text

What you want to try is

comboboxthing = gtk.combo_box_new_text()
combobox.append_text("Option 1")
combobox.append_text("Option 2")

Regards,

Liam Clarke
