pygtk runs on top of Python and GTK. GTK is a toolkit for X11, and Python and GTK are both implemented in C. However, Motif isn't part of the default install, and window/window manager interaction is quite different from what we are used to on desktop X11. By modern standards, Motif isn't big, though.
