In PyGTK, what does gobject.type_register() do? The documentation merely says
registers the specified Python class as a PyGTK type
Well, duh. What does registering a class as a PyGtk type do?
A PyGTK type can be used as the type of a PyGTK property. To be known to the GObject type system, a type has to be registered. I don’t think you actually have to call this function in PyGTK, it is probably done automatically when you call
__gobject_init__.Sometimes the PyGTK docs are too succinct. In that case you might want to read the C docs.
