I'm attempting to make a small GTK 3 irc client in Python 2.7 with twisted. Currently, I have a very basic client that can successfully connect to an irc network and display some stuff in the main text area. I'm currently trying to work on implementing multiple channel support, however populating a GtkListBox with an entry containing the channel when a channel is joined doesn't seem to work.
The python code is below:
main.py
from twisted.internet import gtk3reactor
gtk3reactor.install()
from twisted.internet import reactor
from gi.repository import Gtk, GObject
import time
from ConnectDialog import ConnectDialog
# twisted imports
from twisted.words.protocols import irc

self.channels = []

return self.factory.username

return self.factory.password
nickname = property(_get_nickname)
password = property(_get_password)
def connectionMade(self):
irc.IRCClient.connectionMade(self)
self.log("[Connected established at %s]" %
time.asctime(time.localtime(time.time())))
def connectionLost(self, reason):
irc.IRCClient.connectionLost(self, reason)
self.log("[Disconnected at %s]" %
time.asctime(time.localtime(time.time())))
# callbacks for events
def signedOn(self):
"""Called when bot has succesfully signed on to server."""
self.log("Successfuly connected!")
self.join(self.factory.channel)
def joined(self, channel):
self.addChannel(channel)
self.log("[You have joined %s]" % channel)
def privmsg(self, user, channel, msg):
"""This will get called when the bot receives a message."""
if not any(channel in s for s in self.channels):
self.addChannel(channel) # multiple channels for znc
user = user.split('!', 1)[0]
self.log("<%s> %s" % (user, msg))
def action(self, user, channel, msg):
"""This will get called when the bot sees someone do an action."""
user = user.split('!', 1)[0]
self.log("* %s %s" % (user, msg))
# irc callbacks
def irc_NICK(self, prefix, params):
"""Called when an IRC user changes their nickname."""
old_nick = prefix.split('!')[0]
new_nick = params[0]
self.log("%s is now known as %s" % (old_nick, new_nick))
# For fun, override the method that determines how a nickname is changed on
# collisions. The default method appends an underscore.
def alterCollidedNick(self, nickname):
"""

effort to create an unused related name for subsequent registration.
"""
return nickname + '_'
def log(self, message):
end_iter = self.factory.messages_buffer.get_end_iter()

As far as I can tell, the code to add to the GtkListBox will work in the window, but not in the twisted ircclient class.
Any help is appreciated!
Turns out it was simply a case that I needed to call row.show_all() in order for the listboxitem to be shown in the UI
