Accessing Widget With GTK

[Riccardo Trocca]

Well, usually, in order to avoid that I use classes so it is easy to
access a self.pName from a class method.
I'm writing an application in python using a glade interface. I
preferred to load the xml file generated by glade by hand and connect
signals to class methods. Ok, this is just a personal opinion.
Anyway probably it is just a name scope problem.
try with glob(al)
