Python Gtk3 set text in textview

i can get richtext from textbuffer with this:

exported = self.textbuffer.serialize(
                         self.textbuffer,
                         self.textbuffer.register_serialize_tagset(),
                         start_iter,
                         end_iter
                         )

how can i set text into textBuffer?

Solution

  • i somehow completly missed this in The docs .

    http://lazka.github.io/pgi-docs/Gtk-3.0/classes/TextBuffer.html#Gtk.TextBuffer.deserialize

    deserialize (content_buffer, format, iter, data)

    This function deserializes rich text in format format and inserts it at iter. formats to be used must be registered using Gtk.TextBuffer.register_deserialize_format() or Gtk.TextBuffer.register_deserialize_tagset() beforehand.

    Which is the answer i was looking for
