Well it always struck me as odd that libglade support lived inside PyGtk, i.e. import gtk.glade. Now that we have GtBuilder support, and libglade is effectively deprecated, I wanted to setup things so that I could distribute builds of Gtk+ that included Glade, and builds that did not (i.e. vanilla PyGtk). I should clarify that on the build instructions. Anyway, I have some other enhancements (to dsutils.py) that I am almost ready to merge that make it easy to create PyGtk apps that play nicely with py2exe. These make it trivial to create executable pygtk apps for windows. > - What features does numpy bring to PyGTK? Umm, no idea, I just kept the support there when I fixed up setup.py. Can anyone else answer this?
