Andy: I don't suspect PyGTK's runtime library is going anywhere too soon, but yes support is terrible now. GLADE is actually a bigger problem - we have been forward porting the editor for years now. Current GLADE editors won't work with PYGTK based XML files.
There is a GTK3 version of gladevcp started in the repo - can't remember it's functionality status. It got stalled because of not being able to reuse gremlin - the opengl library it uses was not converted to PyGObject. I fooled with trying to use another library and never got far enough. Now the biggest problem is the big problem for all our python code - we need to convert to python 3. I have currently been working on a python 3 version of the python HAL library using Cython - it has been going reasonably well. My intention is to eventually get back to GladeVCP, but currently I'm working on QTVCP as an alternative.

(pygtk.org forwards to pygobject) Last release was 7 years ago. This might explain why no support or help is available. Should we start to deprecate GladeVCP? Convert it to PyGoObject? (I am not sure what this means, but Glade itself appears to be language-ambivalent) Glade isn't quite so defunct. In fact I suspect that the Glade handler files can use GoObject rather than PyGTK.
