Description David Barnett 2012-10-25 07:52:43 UTC 
The GTK documentation at http://developer.gnome.org/gtk/stable/GtkTreeView.html#gtk-tree-view-set-tooltip-column mentions that the tooltip column should contain markup, not text, but the pygtk docs say nothing about markup: http://www.pygtk.org/docs/pygtk/class-gtktreeview.html#method-gtktreeview--set-tooltip-column

This causes confusion and leads to warnings like this:
  Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to set text from markup due to error parsing markup: Error on line 1: Entity did not end with a semicolon; most likely you used an ampersand character without intending to start an entity - escape ampersand as &

pygtk is not under active development anymore and had its last code changes
in 2013. Its codebase has been archived:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/pygtk/commits/master

PyGObject at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pygobject is its successor. See https://pygobject.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guide/porting.html for porting info.

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect
reality. Feel free to open a task in GNOME Gitlab if the issue described in this task still applies to a recent version of PyGObject. Thanks!
