Well, most of what is in gtk.py is being moved to a C extension module.
The types you create in an extension module are not class like, so you
can't subclass them for instance.  ExtensionClass is a bit of code that
allows you to create types that can be subclassed.

This way, I can autogenerate the C extension module, and keep the benefits
of having the python class wrappers (ie. you could subclass them and set
their attributes).  We also get all the benefits I mentioned in my
message.

There is documentation on ExtensionClass on Digital Creation's website
(www.digicool.com).
