* The bindings are not ready to use. We need work closely with upstream to solve the remaining issues.
+
* This feature depends on evince  3.4 (shipped in F17)
   −
There are a bug related https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=635705
+
* The bindings are already fixed and packaged in Fedora Rawhide

and the method factory_get_document needed to open a document, is marked as not introspectable https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=662709

With gtk 3 is:

Simon did tests and report:
  −
 
  −
what I did today to get a bit of a feeling of what is needed to port Read was looking at the evince bidings through introspection. So first, hmmm what is the gi repository called?
  −
 
  −
In Fedora you can have a look at '/usr/lib/girepository-1.0/' and find out that there is a EvinceDocument-3.0.typelib and a EvinceDocument-3.0.typelib. If we have a quick look at [1] we find out that the .typelib is a Binary version of the invocation info. Ok let's try this:
      +
from gi.repository import Gtk, Gio
 
  from gi.repository import EvinceDocument
 
  from gi.repository import EvinceDocument
dir(EvinceDocument)
  −
   
  from gi.repository import EvinceView
 
  from gi.repository import EvinceView
dir(EvinceView)
     −
Works!
     −
Looking at the invokations in read/evinceadapter.py I did extract the calls we did previously on the evince module (e.g. evince.View()) and checked if they were present, too.
+
class HelloWorldApp(Gtk.Application):
 +
    def __init__(self):
 +
        Gtk.Application.__init__(self, application_id="apps.test.helloevince",
 +
                                flags=Gio.ApplicationFlags.FLAGS_NONE)
 +
        self.connect("activate", self.on_activate)
 +
       
 +
    def on_activate(self, data=None):
 +
        window = Gtk.Window(type=Gtk.WindowType.TOPLEVEL)
 +
        window.set_title("Evince Gtk3 Python Example")
 +
        window.set_border_width(24)
   −
The evince.View() is now EvinceView.View().
+
        scroll = Gtk.ScrolledWindow()
 +
        window.add(scroll)
   −
Furthermore are present:
+
        EvinceDocument.init()
 +
        doc = EvinceDocument.Document.factory_get_document('file:///home/gonzalo/Desktop/AjedrezyLeyendas-Postmortem.pdf')
 +
        view = EvinceView.View()
 +
        model = EvinceView.DocumentModel()
 +
        model.set_document(doc)
 +
        view.set_model(model)
 +
        scroll.add(view)
   −
help(view)
+
        window.show_all()
view.set_model
+
        self.add_window(window)
view.can_zoom_in, view.can_zoom_out
+
   
  view.zoom_in
+
  if __name__ == "__main__":
view_zoom_out
+
    app = HelloWorldApp()
view.find_next
+
    app.run(None)
view.find_previous
  −
view.scroll
  −
view.copy
  −
view.find_set_highlight_search
     −
I could not find: update_view_size, find_changed
+

Some further transitions:
+
Not directly related. Evince developers have a request to support epub format [https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=539347].
   −
evince.JobFind -> EvinceView.JobFind
+
We are implementing our own epub reader displaying it with webkit. If implemented in evince, we can simplify our code a lot.
evince.Job.scheduler_push_job -> EvinceView.Job
  −
 
  −
I could not find: evince.SIZING_* (e.g. evince.SIZING_BEST_FIT)
  −
 
  −
More info on the EvinceView API are at [2].
  −
 
  −
 
  −
And then I came across an hard one (which I have not solved yet):
  −
 
  −
I could not find out how 'evince.document_factory_get_document(file_path)' should be called now. Looking at the API it should be maybe something like EvinceDocument.factory_get_document, trying that:
  −
 
  −
>>> EvinceDocument.factory_get_document
  −
Traceback (most recent call last):
  −
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  −
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gi/module.py", line 243, in __getattr__
  −
  return getattr(self._introspection_module, name)
  −
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gi/module.py", line 105, in __getattr__
  −
  self.__name__, name))
  −
AttributeError: 'gi.repository.EvinceDocument' object has no attribute 'factory_get_document'
  −
>>>
  −
 
  −
Hmm, I did get the sources, then to have a look because the .typelib is a Binary version of the invocation info and therefore I need to have a look at the .gir file to dig a bit deeper. After installing all the dependencies I did a './autogen.sh --enable-introspection' and run 'make' and had a .gir file placed in libdocument/EvinceDocument-3.0.gir. Looking at the definition it says:
  −
 
  −
<function name="factory_get_document"
  −
              c:identifier="ev_document_factory_get_document"
  −
              introspectable="0"
  −
              throws="1">
  −
 
  −
Hmm, so it should not be available 'introspectable="0"'. Why, how, this exercise is left to the reader, I am a bit stuck on this :)
  −
 
  −
A good resource for asking related is questions is #introspection on GimpNet. I have attached the chat I had with Tomeu about that issue.

''What is the benefit to the platform?  If this is a major capability update, what has changed?  If this is a new feature, what capabilities does it bring? Why will Sugar become a better platform or project because of this feature?''
     −
''Make sure to note here as well if this feature has been requested by a specific deployment, or if it has emerged from a bug report.''

Have a working Read activity. Evince does not include the old bindings anymore.

''If you cannot complete your feature by the final development freeze, what is the backup plan?  This might be as simple as "None necessary, revert to previous release behaviour."  Or it might not.  If your feature is not completed in time, we want to assure others that other parts of Sugar will not be in jeopardy.''
     −
== Documentation ==
+
This change is a internal implementation issue. To the users should be almost equal than the previous version.
''Is there upstream documentation on this feature, or notes you have written yourself?  Has this topic been discussed in the mailing list or during a meeting? Link to that material here so other interested developers can get involved.''
  −
 
  −
== Release Notes ==
  −
''The Sugar Release Notes inform end-users about what is new in the release. An Example is [[0.84/Notes]]. The release notes also help users know how to deal with platform changes such as ABIs/APIs, configuration or data file formats, or upgrade concerns.  If there are any such changes involved in this feature, indicate them here.  You can also link to upstream documentation if it satisfies this need.  This information forms the basis of the release notes edited by the release team and shipped with the release.''
