GTK+ has this glorious policy of not changing their DLL version numbers... ever. I was just describing this in a reply in a previous email. THG works pretty hard to avoid GTK+ library conflcts, we put all of our GTK dlls in their own subdirectory outside of the system path, and add that gtk/ directory into just our process path. But.. when the PyGtk tries to open _gobject.pyd, it apparently looks in other places first. > Anyway, having deleted that, I can now start the installed hgtk! yay!
