[X2go-dev] Patch for python-x2go

[Mike Gabriel]

Hi Stéphane, hi x2go-dev-list,

@x2go-dev-ML: this discussion about using python-x2go in Ubuntu's  
Software Center started as a private mail from Stéphane to me and I  
requested making it public which he granted (THANKS!).

@Stéphane: could you resend your reply to the list as well? THANKS!

This is great news!!!! I am very open to feedback and improvements   
(patches!). Whenever you find something, send it over.

You can find our latest code at
http://git.x2go.org

Applied and uploaded to our Git. THANKS!

If you use another event handler in combination with python-gevent you  
  have to call a gevent.sleep every few milliseconds. Please refer to   
the pyhoca-gui code for an example:

http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=pyhoca-gui.git;a=blob;f=pyhoca/wxgui/frontend.py;h=c06c51c4dc05aa91b0ec9928fafd0c4de3c4b626;hb=63c6f4cb928e735ae3b6202ff34cfc82d09cf816

In the above file take a look at the OnIdle method in line 159.

Yes, do so!!! Very welcome!!! If it turns out that you will have quite  
  a few patches to add we can also discuss direct access to our Git  
site.

 From our Git we build nightly packages on Launchpad, I have just   
kicked that off today...

Thanks for considering its usage!!! Note, that the whole X2go project   
is moving towards AGPL soon. Will that be a problem for you and your   
project context?

Greets,
Mike

PS: I would like to send a copy of this mail to the X2go dev mailing   
list and actually would also love to continue the discussion and   
sharing their. Would that be OK for you?
