im trying to get drag and drop working well in pygobject, but it is slow and unresponsive, 90% of the time i have to wave the item i am dragging around before i can drop it successfully, can anyone see if i am doing it incorrectly or is this a bug with pygobject? here is my code
from gi.repository import Gtk, GdkPixbuf, Gdk
import os
def got_data_cb(windowid, context, x, y, data, info, time):
# Got data.
tempArray = data.get_text().splitlines()
for i in tempArray:
i = i.replace('file://','')
print i
windowid.get_model().append([i])
context.finish(True, False, time)
def drop_cb(windowid, context, x, y, time):
# Some data was dropped, get the data
windowid.drag_get_data(context, context.list_targets()[-1], time)
return True
def main():
win = Gtk.Window()
win.connect('destroy', lambda x: Gtk.main_quit())
win.set_default_size(450, 400)
amodel = Gtk.ListStore(str)
column = Gtk.TreeViewColumn()
title = Gtk.CellRendererText()
column.pack_start(title, True)
column.add_attribute(title, "text", 0)
atree = Gtk.TreeView(amodel)
atree.append_column(column)
builder = Gtk.Builder()
filename = os.path.join('', 'treeview.ui')
builder.add_from_file(filename)
abox = builder.get_object('treeview1')
atree.drag_dest_set(0, [], 0)
atree.connect('drag_motion', lambda v,w,x,y,z: True)
atree.connect('drag_drop', drop_cb)
atree.connect('drag_data_received', got_data_cb)
win.add(atree)
win.show_all()
if __name__ == '__main__':
Gtk.main()

Because I haven't "treeview.ui" file, you referenced, I port the drag'n'drop treeview example of pygtk.
This might be also an example on how to convert old pygtk code to pygi. I only test this code with python3.

In order for me to get drag n drop working from another desktop app to my app, I had to add a drag_motion_callback to copy the data into the context:
Class Window(Gtk.Window):
def __init__(self):
#other stuff before here
#Set up dragNdrop to add URIs to open draw
self.connect("drag-motion", self.motion_cb)
self.connect("drag-drop", self.drop_cb)
self.connect("drag-data-received", self.got_data_cb)
self.drag_dest_set(0, [], 0)
def motion_cb(self, wid, context, x, y, time):
Gdk.drag_status(context,Gdk.DragAction.COPY, time)
# Returning True which means "I accept this data".
return True
def drop_cb(self, wid, context, x, y, time):
wid.drag_get_data(context, context.list_targets()[-1], time)
def got_data_cb(self, wid, context, x, y, data, info, time):
#Need to do something here
files=data.get_text().rstrip('\n').split('\n')
for fn in files:
fn= fn.split('file://',1)[-1]
self.add_file(fn)
self.place_items()
print files
context.finish(True, False, time)
