on differences: The downloads include binaries, so there have to be distinct files for Linux and Windoze. If you download the same versions, there shouldn't be any noticeable differences, with one big exception: multithreading and PyGTK don't mix well on Windows. Your application might run perfectly (and look correct) on Linux, but in Windoze it's a mess. You can find workarounds, but I haven't come across one that looked reliable. If you have Python 2.6 or higher, you can use the multiprocessing module (also available separately for earlier versions) to emulate threads with processes, which will relieve the problem, but make it a little harder for your threads (processes) to communicate with each other.
