Can a version of Python be declared to go with this if its in the
Bindings?  Otherwise every distro could end up with a different version
of Python resulting in various incompatibilities - especially in the
case where multiple versions of Python are installed.
Does /usr/bin/python reference the vesion with pygtk?  If apps
hardcode /usr/bin/python-2.2 what happens on a distro that only has 2.3?
Both problems disappear if we mandate that, say, Python 2.3 be used and
that all apps using the "official GNOME Bindings" reference python-2.3
explicitly, or something like that.
