from vte/configure.in

        if $BUILD_PYTHON ; then
                AC_MSG_CHECKING([for pygtk-2.0])
                if pkg-config --exists pygtk-2.0 ; then
                        AC_MSG_RESULT([found])
                        PKG_CHECK_MODULES(PYGTK,[pygtk-2.0])
                        PYGTK_DATADIR=`pkg-config --variable=datadir
        pygtk-2.0`
                        AC_SUBST(PYGTK_DATADIR)
                else
                        AC_MSG_RESULT([not found])
                        BUILD_PYTHON=false

BTW will be gnome-python[-extra] included in GNOME Bindings release?

My only concern about Totem it's the all-in-one design. 

IMHO could be better split the DVD player into a separate UI ala OSX and
remove the Audio CD playing ability (we have yet gnome-cd-
player/Goobox/SJ).

But it's so late...

Paolo showed us how to build up a great volume control button. I like to
see it in libegg and used in Totem, Rhythmbox and Volume applet :-)))

IMHO goobox is a great replacement for the current CD player shipped
with gnome-media
