how good does PyGTK work on windows?

hello,
I will be writing some code in PyGTK to run on linux. but I want to
know if there are any installers or distutils available for PyGTK on
windows?
I have heard that installing gimp or even pygtk is next to impossible
and is very tedious if at all one gets success.
can any one share their experiences with installing and running pygtk on windos?
any links for downloading proper packages will be highly appreciated.
regards,
Krishnakant.

There's no problem with installing PyGTK on Windows. While it doesn't
look as pretty as on Linux and some people mention newer versions (2.8
and on) performing bit unstable, I did not realize any instabilities.
Just use package from gladewin32 project, there are separate downloads
with development tools and without. Then just install pycairo, pygobject
and pygtk packages from PyGTK project.

I just discovered Python and looked briefly at one of the tutorials for beginners... It looks a lot like the old Command line Basic... I'm sure it does much more but... 1 - Can you create windows, buttons, user input fields, etc as you can with Visual Basic? 2 - Can you call Windows Procedures or what ever they call them

Hi all... I think wxPython is much better than PyGTK. First of all, PyGTK needs the GTK runtime installed, whereas wxPython is entirely Python's modules, so It facilitates the apps' distribution. Also, PyGTK uses specific controls or widgets of GTK, while wxPython uses native controls of the platform where the app is running. I'm learning both, but at a slow step, so I want to know all the comments about this subject in this group.

I am experimenting (flailing around?) with glade and python. Both under MS Windows and Linux. I understand why I want to "import gtk" It gives me access to the critical gui program loop gtk.main() and main_quit() I am also very grateful for import gtk.glade This lets me open my xml format glade file

I'm just starting out on Python but my primary goal is to provide applications with some user interface (GUI). Can someone point me to a good comparison of whether I should use wxPython (with wxGlade I assume) or PyGTK (with Glade I assume)? I'd prefer open source (not necessarily GPL though) tools. Rod

I tried to create a windows executable of a pygtk program. My first attempt worked, kinda, except that no themes were applied and no readable fonts were found by pango; so all letters where just empty squares. But the program worked. I looked up some docs, found the following recipe on the PyGTK Wiki site: http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/moin.cgi/Py2exeAndPyGTK I followed those instructions to convert my setup.py file;...

has any one tried py gtk on windows? I tried to do a google search for accessibility related issues but did not find any thing specific to pygtk and windows accessibility. I even tried to search for just gtk and windows accessibility but again no result. so I am now posting this message as a last hope to at least get a "yes " or "no " answer on whether py gtk is accessible with windows. thanks.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
