So two things here. We're not yet using Python 3, just GTK 3. And GTK
3 and sundry rely on gobject introspection, so these are completely
different packages to pygtk. There's no such thing as a pygtk build
for GTK3.

I don't know what the situation is with Windows and Python GTK 3
support, but I do know that the Gramps people (gramps-project.org)
have made the switch so it's presumably doable... it may just be
painful. I'll look in to this more when I have time.

cheers,
