How to write an extended gtk.CellRendererText() to have an image beside the text

Question

I am doing a simple file browser in python and GtkBuilder. I am using a Treeview that has one TreeViewColumn with cells that are rendered like:

self.cell = gtk.CellRendererText()

As I mentioned I am creating a file browser. So I want to have a small icon before the text in each cell, that icon will be the folder,file icon. Any idea on how can I do that?

You don't need to extend CellRendererText, you can insert more than one CellRenderer per column using gtk.TreeViewColumn.pack_start().

You will want to have a CellRendererPixbuf to the left of your CellRendererText.

But can you show how to do it? because pack_start() takes only 2 arguments (CellRenderer,Boolean) – dlock Jun 22 '11 at 03:18
Ok I did it by calling pack_start() two times. – dlock Jun 22 '11 at 03:20
