Hi, Hmm... there might be GTK support at some point after we move to Mir. But there is no focus on GTK which means, there won't be a touch friendly theme any time soon.
If you want to have your app running on Ubuntu touch, I'd recommend to check out Qt/QML. The PyQt project has released a first release working with Qt5 so that might be worth a try. http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/news If porting from PyGTK to PyQt turns out to be a rewrite, I actually recommend directly looking into using Qt and QML instead of rewriting everything with PyQt. Best regards.
