And according to http://blog.rabbitvcs.org/archives/293 pygtk will never be ported to gnome3. He normally is very well-informed as he is the maintainer of nautilus-python and rabbitvcs. http://www.pygtk.org/ does approve that pygtk will no more be actively develop but does not tell about it being not supported at all in gnome3: "Existing authors of PyGTK applications are also recommended to port their applications to PyGObject to take advantage of new features appearing in GTK-3 and beyond." so I don't know if porting is immediately necessary or if it will be in the far future. - Seems like the successor of pygtk is http://live.gnome.org/PyGObject. - The good news is that according to - http://live.gnome.org/PyGObject/IntrospectionPorting (you have to scroll - down a bit about to find any valid information on porting) porting seems - to be doable, at least. - + Seems like the successor of pygtk is http://live.gnome.org/PyGObject.
