The best Python API docs for GTK, Rhythmbox, Webkit and many more

Posted on by

If you are a python developer, finding good quality and up-to-date documentation to refer to can be time-consuming.

Finding such documentation all in one-place would be a god-send … but miracles do happen!

I personally would warmly recommend this site:

From the always excellent Christoph Reiter the site offers a fully searchable massive database of many open-source projects & their toolkits .

Image

The database is fully up-to-date.  For example, GTK python programmers will find documentation relevant from GTK v3.0 all the way to the latest GTK v3.12.

The database cross-references each others API’s – thus you can directly find relevant methods, properties, signals etc without having to search separate documentation.

If you are an experienced programmer – or just an aspiring developer, this resource is truly invaluable.
