For windows users, I will get a PyGtk binary up some time in the next week (or else you can follow the build instructions in README.win32). I recommend sticking with GTK2 and PyGTK on windows for a while yet. On linux I expect things to mature faster. Personally, I don't like being the *first* person to use new software. I'm pretty pragmatic about this sort of thing, and if you wanted to use PyGObject + GObject introspection + GTK3 + Windows you would be in a very small set of people and I would not be confident that it would work. > Also any notes on what else we have to load besides the GTK+ binary to > get it all working. e.g. pycairo See README.win32 in the source directory, but basically, GTK+Glib +PyGObject+PyCairo+Python John > > Thanks.
