Thanks for clearing that up John,
I would humbly like to request an additional windows build for Python
2.7 if at all possible.
(But thanks for the link to the build it yourself info.)

Thanks John,
For windows users - can you comment on whether we should use the
PyGObject interface as you recommend for Gnome users ?
For windows users, I will get a PyGtk binary up some time in the next
week (or else you can follow the build instructions in README.win32). I
recommend sticking with GTK2 and PyGTK on windows for a while yet. On
linux I expect things to mature faster.
Personally, I don't like being the *first* person to use new software.
I'm pretty pragmatic about this sort of thing, and if you wanted to use
PyGObject + GObject introspection + GTK3 + Windows you would be in a
very small set of people and I would not be confident that it would
work.
Also any notes on what else we have to load besides the GTK+ binary to
get it all working. e.g. pycairo
See README.win32 in the source directory, but basically, GTK+Glib
+PyGObject+PyCairo+Python
John
Thanks. MarkS...

Hi All
A new unstable development release of the Python bindings
for GTK-2 has been released.
The new release is available from ftp.gnome.org and its mirrors
as soon as its synced correctly:
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/pygtk/2.21/
Note:
PyGtk 2.22 will be the last release in the PyGtk series. It
will support the GTK-2.22 API. New users wising to develop
Python applications using GTK are recommended to use the
GObject-Introspection features available in PyGObject.
Existing authors of PyGtk applications are also
recommended to port their applications to PyGObject
if they wish to take advantage of new features appearing
in GTK-3.0 and beyond. More information on PyGObject
and the GObject-Introspection features can be found at;
http://live.gnome.org/PyGObject
Additionally, the version number of PyGtk has been incremented to
2.21.0. The final stable PyGtk release will be 2.22.0, aligned with
the GTK-2.22.0 release.
What's New:
New features since PyGtk-2.17.0 (2.18.0 was never released) include
* Wrap new API added in GTK/GDK 2.21/2.22
* Wrap new API added in GTK/GDK 2.20
* Add forgotten API from GTK/GDK 2.12/14/16/18/20
* Windows build and compatibility fixes
* Many bug fixes
Bug reports, as always, should go to Bugzilla; check out
http://pygtk.org/developer.html and http://pygtk.org/feedback.html for
links to posting and querying bug reports for PyGTK.
