Here is a new version of pyGtranslator (GUI tool for Google translate) with many fixes and some new features. I think now works as it should.

what's new:
  • utf-8 characters works properly now
  • showing new lines fixed
  • added languages swap button
  • settings are now saved on exit
  • better connection error handling

happy translating and a happy new year :)

pyGtranslator - GUI tool for Google translate

Update: new version pyGtranslator 0.2 avalible
I've been playing with python these days. I made a small GUI tool that brings Google translate to your desktop. Application was easy to code, although I use python occasionally  (wish I could more and learn it better), but want it to make it run on both linux and windows. That took me quite more time. I almost gave up with py2exe and building windows executable, but after hours of googling and trying I figure out that I have to set environmental path to GTK runtime libs. I also made packages for two my favourite linux distros Zenwalk and Ubuntu. pyGtranslator can be improved and also "suggest a better translation" is missing, but that's maybe for late updates, if the need shows. I hope it works for you, otherwise let me know.

Simple screenshot tool

I was missing a screenshot tool on my xfce zenwalk desktop. Every time i want to took a quick screen shot i have to ran Gimp to do it and what's quite inconvenient. I was just started playing with python and gtk and i found some easy way to take a screen shot with gtk tools, so i decided to make a small app. It's first thing i ever made with python or gtk so don't expect too much. hope you like it
