Hi,

I just came in to the list so I hope I'm not off base in understanding
the problem:

 > [ how to use latest PyGTK on a system with 2.0 also installed ]

Try doing the following:

1) Install your new pygtk to some prefix

2) Add /prefix/lib/python2.3/site-packages in your PYTHONPATH

3) cd /prefix/lib/python2.3/site-packages ; ln -s gtk-2.0 gtk-2.4

4) Finally, in your Python code, import the gtk related modules like
this:

import pygtk
pygtk.require('2.4')
import gtk, gtk.glade, gobject

This is what works on my Debian sarge/sid systems using PyGTK 2.3.96
while still having the python2.3-gtk2 package installed.  Also, I'm
using Debian's packages for the glade-2 executable and libglade2.

Is there any reason the latest PyGTK releases don't already install to
the gtk-2.4/ subdirectory?  It seems to me that is the right thing to
do.

HTH,
-Brett.
