I was wondering if it is possible to save a canvas that had several textures painted on it as an image file.
I know I can save regular Image's (kivy.core.image) or Texture's (kivy.graphics.texture) as an image file with the save() function, so if I am able to convert the canvas to an Image or a Texture it should be easy, but so far I wasn't able to do this.
Widgets have an export_to_png method. Call this from the Widget whose canvas you have drawn on.
The problem is that your MyPainter widget has its default size of (100,100) and its default position (0,0). So it is actually behind your Save Button. So all your drawing is actually outside the MyPainter widget, and saving the widget to an image is blank.
The fix is to change the pos and size of MyPainter, and perhaps use collide_point() in your on_touch_down() and on_touch_move() methods to ensure that you are actually drawing on the MyPainter widget.

In Tkinter, resizing a canvas and/or frame can be done using
canvas.pack(fill="both", expand=True)
This way I can drag the tkinter window with the mouse and the canvas and frames within will adapt to the new size.
However I have not found a solution for applying this to images within the canvas. Only solutions so far are to independently change the size of the images through event actions.
Is there any way to make images within a canvas to resize dynamically, just like the canvas does with the one-liner above?

No, there is no way to do what you want. Images aren't like widgets which can automatically grow and shrink. You will need to set up a binding on the <Configure> event of the containing widget, and in the bound function you will have to convert the image to the desired size.
Does anyone know how make this (saving a scrollview stitched together as a series of images about the height of the screen) a reality?
There is the save_to_png method for every widget, but this only saves the currently visible portion of the screen. I'm not sure how to scroll down automatically by the height of the screen, and of course it would be better if there was a simple method for saving all of a widget to image, even if not currently rendered on the screen.
Any pointers on how to go about this?

I'm having a problem moving the textbox from a side to side.
The code's long and it's about 200+ lines so I wont post it here.
Anybody has an idea?
You have various options for this, depending on what you mean by "text box," and whether you want to move it "by pixels" or "from a side to [another] side."
If you just want to display text, you can use a Label widget. If you want a text box where the user can enter text, try an Entry widget. If you want to move your widget from one area of the screen to another, you can use the grid geometry manager and simply use grid_forget to "unplace" your widget then grid (with different options than you originally used, of course) to put it somewhere else.
If you just have text and you'd like to move it pixel by pixel, you could create a Canvas and then use that widget's create_text method to create some text in a specific place on the Canvas. You can the use the Canvas widget's itemconfig method to move the text to a new location.
If you need something more complex than text, like an Entry widget, and you want to move it pixel by pixel, do the same as above but use the create_window method instead.
See Canvas, grid, Label, Entry, and these SO questions about create_window.
Someone know if it's possible to change the color of a pixel in a canvas without using un object, so without using something like canvas.create_oval or canvas.create_rectangle ?
There is no way to color a pixel other than to create a 1x1 pixel object of some sort. And yes, at some point you will experience performance problems. The canvas simply wasn't designed to be used this way.
If you're really needing to create a large area in which you can manage individual pixels, you can create a canvas with a single image that is the same size as the canvas. You can then set the color of individual pixels on the image through the photo image interface.
Within tkinter itself, it's impossible.
Even if you manage to change a pixel on canvas window (which is possible with X11 and Windows APIs in a platform-dependent way), you'd have to ensure it's repainted properly.
You can, of course, place a frame of size 1x1 over the canvas, with a background color you want. This way, pixel is "changed" and no canvas object is created. If there's a real (though strange) problem behind a question, this trick could be a solution.
What is the best way to have transparency of specific widgets in a PyGTK application? I do not want to use themes because the transparency of each of the widgets will be changing through animation.
The only thing I can find is to use cairo to draw widgets with an Alpha, but I can't figure out how to do this. Is there perhaps a better way to do this as well?
Thanks!
Assuming that your program runs under composition manager, you could get per-widget transparency by manipulating widget's X window. Look at gtk.gdk.Window.set_opacity().
Note, it is not gtk.Window; you can get this object by getting its window property (buttonWidget.window), but only when widget is realized and only when widget does handle events -- gtk.Label does not have its own X window for instance.
If you need to work also when you don't have composition manager, drawing your widgets by yourself is the only option -- but you don't necessarily have to use cairo; drawing pixel by pixel on the bare X window will also work.
