David,
C-GTK has been ported to Windows and OS/2, and things will only get better.
BUT, there is no port of PyGTK to Windows. This will require someone who (1)
knows how to do it and (2) wants to spend the time. I think the problem right
now is with number 2. But it should happen sometime soon.
Unfortunately, Guido and others consider Tkinter the "de-facto" GUI for Python.
I think and hope this will change as they see how much better suited GTK is for
the job than sharing GUI's with Tcl/Tk. Once GLADE/gIDE are able to generate
native PyGTK code, we may indeed have something that beats IDLE hands down.
The only thing you have to ask yourself is how long you're willing to wait. It
may be a year before you'll be able to write Python-GTK apps using GLADE/gIDE on
Windows...I don't know.
