PyGtk equivalent of gdk_window_ensure_native?

Question

Is there an equivalent to gdk_window_ensure_native in PyGtk? I need it to unbreak drawing OpenGl to widget in Gtk >= 2.18.

You can get the gtk.gdk.Window of a widget/window using gtk.Widget.get_window(), and then use undocumented gtk.gdk.Window.ensure_native(), e.g.: my_widget.get_window().ensure_native(). Works at least with pygtk2-2.17.0 I have available at hand.

Yes, there is:

>>> import gtk
>>> w = gtk.Window()
>>> w.show_all()
>>> gw = w.get_window()
>>> gw
<gtk.gdk.Window object at 0xa31e824 (GdkWindow at 0xa38ea28)>
>>> gw.ensure_native()
True
>>> gw.has_native()
True

Alternatively, You may try setting environmental variable GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1
