Opening files with quickly's PyGTK

Question

I have already added the listeners and etc, but I can't get the actual open dialog code to work. I think it is something to do with the difference between gtk and Gtk but I literally just started python yesterday. Here is my code as of now:

dialog = Gtk.FileChooserDialog("Open..",
                           None,
                           GTK_FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_OPEN,
                           (Gtk.STOCK_CANCEL, Gtk.RESPONSE_CANCEL,
                            Gtk.STOCK_OPEN, Gtk.RESPONSE_OK))
    dialog.set_default_response(Gtk.RESPONSE_OK)

When the button is pressed, the console output this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/nja/notetaker/notetaker/NotetakerWindow.py", line 61, in on_btn_open_clicked
self.open_file()
File "/home/nja/notetaker/notetaker/NotetakerWindow.py", line 41, in open_file
GTK_FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_OPEN,
NameError: global name 'GTK_FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_OPEN' is not defined

Also when GTK_FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_OPEN is substituted for "0" (Which I believe is the int that constant points to) it works fine but it flags up the same error on Gtk.RESPONSE_CANCEL and Gtk.RESPONSE_OK

You must replace:

• GTK_FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_OPEN with Gtk.FileChooserAction.OPEN
• Gtk.RESPONSE_CANCEL with Gtk.ResponseType.CANCEL
• Gtk.RESPONSE_OK with Gtk.ResponseType.OK

etc.

This is not PyGTK, it's GObject Introspection. You must build names as follows: Gtk.EnumTypeNameHere.VALUE
