The pygtksourceview package provides access to the GtkSourceView library version 2 through Python bindings.
First, navigate to the directory containing the package's source code and run `./configure` to configure it for your system. If you're using `csh' on an old version of System V, you may need to run `sh ./configure' instead to prevent `csh' from trying to execute `configure' itself. While running, `configure' will print messages to inform you which features it is checking for. The process may take some time.
Next, type `make' to compile the package. If you want to run any self-tests that come with the software, you can optionally type `make check' before installing the programs and any data files and documentation by typing `make install'.
After installation, you can remove the program binaries and object files by typing `make clean'. If you want to remove the files that `configure' created so you can compile the package for a different kind of computer, you can type `make distclean'. Developers can use the `make maintainer-clean' target, but most users do not need to worry about this option.
Overall, I found the pygtksourceview package to be a quick and efficient solution for those looking to work with the GtkSourceView library version 2 in Python.
