#!/usr/bin/env python """ This is a rough Python translation of the ideas presented in this KMDI tutorial: http://web.tiscali.it/andreabergia/kmditutorial.html What does work: IDEAlMode - yay! Adding and closing child views Two-way syncing between a tool widget and a matching child view All is not rosy, however: Instances of the KmdiExample maintain a dictionary of child views. Values cannot be deleted from this dictionary during a window close (causes an immediate segfault). Child views created after initialization aren't numbered correctly; given the first problem, it's harder to do this than it's really worth. The example segfaults at shutdown if the tool (on the left) is is open but is not in overlap-mode.
