/usr/local/bin/python can use import gtk to get 1.99.13 since there is no pygtk 0.6.x - import pygtk also works
/usr/bin/python can use import gtk to get 0.6.6

If pygtk.pth is processed the content of this file is added to sys.path. For example, if it says gtk-2.0 and is in /usr/local/lib/python2.2/site-packages, .../site-packages/gtk-2.0 will be added to sys.path. For example, if pygtk 0.6.x where x is higher than 11 is installed on a Red Hat 8.0 system, which provides 1.99.12 we have the following scenario: import gtk -> pygtk 1.99.12 import pygtk pygtk.require('1.2') import gtk -> pygtk 0.6.x import pygtk pygtk.require('2.0') import gtk -> pygtk 1.99.12 As you can see pygtk is required for 0.6.x, but not for 1.99.12, since On a old system with 0.6.x as default, Red Hat 7.x for example, it's the opposite import gtk -> 0.6.x and import pygtk;pygtk.require is required for 1.99.x (which is installed by the user)
