Answer 1

Here is a great menubar example -- just copy it and put it menubar_test.py then change the permissions chmod 755 menubar_test.py

Hope this helps you!

Answer 2

Here is a post announcing that what you are trying to do might be included in GTK 3.4; but I don't know where to find the current state of that code.

Using pygtk 2.0, I believe you want to use:

field.set_text("Here is my text in gtk.Entry widget")

field.get_text() retrieves the text that you just set above in gtk.Entry.
