Because I am never sure of the correct way to resolve these stupid errors with runtime incompatibilities (which I think was in part due to a bug in python 2.6.4) it is also really easy to build your own installers for pygtk and pygobject. Check out the windows branch (of pygtk and pygobject) from git and follow the instructions in README.win32 This seems to circumvent all the runtime incompatibilities (because then your built installer uses the runtime you had when you built the installer AFAIK...). The instructions are very up to date - I check they still work every few weeks. Total build time is about 10 mins (including downloading and unzipping all the dependencies etc) John _______________________________________________ pygtk mailing list pygtk@daa.com.au http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk Read the PyGTK FAQ: http://faq.pygtk.org/
