One thing I'd like to see covered in depth is the use of the pygtk code generation to create Python wrappers for custom GTK widgets. I've noticed that the PyGTK tutorial is (currently) heavily based upon the GTK tutorial, so I don't know if this is outside it's scope, but I think it would be very useful. I recently went through the PyGTK tutorial (having a moderate background in C and use of the GTK), and found it quite straightforward.
I've been trying to figure out the whole wrapping process and was getting nowhere until I found this:

It helped a lot, and the examples are very nice, but the theory behind it all is still a bit hazy. I've think I've also had some issues with the code generator mangling some of my "camel case" C names. It would be nice to see the code generation process thoroughly explained somewhere, along with information like its history, its long term future, whether or not it's possible to achieve compatible wrappings with SWIG, etc...

PS - Sorry if this has already been discussed, but I checked the pygtk archives and couldn't find the start of the "Comments on the tutorial" thread.
