+TreeViewTooltips.py
+
+Provides TreeViewTooltips, a class which presents tooltips for cells,
+columns and rows in a gtk.TreeView.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------
+    This file includes a demo.  Just execute the file:
+
+       python TreeViewTooltips.py
+------------------------------------------------------------
+
+To use, first subclass TreeViewTooltips and implement the get_tooltip()
+method; see below.  Then add any number of gtk.TreeVew widgets to a
+TreeViewTooltips instance by calling the add_view() method.  Overview
+of the steps:
+
+    # 1. subclass TreeViewTooltips
+    class MyTooltips(TreeViewTooltips):
+
+        # 2. overriding get_tooltip()
+        def get_tooltip(...):
+            ...
+
+    # 3. create an instance
+    mytips = MyTooltips()
+
+    # 4. Build up your gtk.TreeView.
+    myview = gtk.TreeView()
+    ...# create columns, set the model, etc.
+
+    # 5. Add the view to the tooltips
+    mytips.add_view(myview)
+
+How it works: the add_view() method connects the TreeView to the
+"motion-notify" event with the callback set to a private method.
+Whenever the mouse moves across the TreeView the callback will call
+get_tooltip() with the following arguments:
+
+    get_tooltip(view, column, path)
+
+where,
+
+    view:   the gtk.TreeView instance. 
+    column: the gtk.TreeViewColumn instance that the mouse is
+            currently over.
+    path:   the path to the row that the mouse is currently over.
+
+Based on whether or not column and path are checked for specific
+values, get_tooltip can return tooltips for a cell, column, row or the
+whole view:
+
+    Column Checked      Path Checked      Tooltip For...
+          Y                 Y             cell
+          Y                 N             column
+          N                 Y             row
+          N                 N             view
+
+get_tooltip() should return None if no tooltip should be displayed.
+Otherwise the return value will be coerced to a string (with the str()
+builtin) and stripped; if non-empty, the result will be displayed as
+the tooltip.  By default, the tooltip popup window will be displayed
+centered and just below the pointer and will remain shown until the
+pointer leaves the cell (or column, or row, or view, depending on how
+get_tooltip() is implemented).
