2D canvas for GTK

[Sandro Dentella]

I need a (decent) canvas for PyGTK. I used tkinter.canvas with real pleasure
in the past but now I need to use the canvas in a Gtk application. Does
anybody know of one with similar capabilities? It must work on Windows too.
It must be able to produce postscript output.

Thanks

I think that PyCairo might be what you're looking for, at least if you're
using gtk 2.8.

No, that's definitely a lower level tool. I need someting that has
rectangles, lines, possibility to move object around, easy bindings, tags
for objects, grouping. All that is already in tkinter.canvas but I need to
use it from a GTK application.

Any other ideas?

If you can afford the include GNOME as a dependency, then gnome-canvas or diacanvas2
is your best bet.
