You are welcome.

Not that I know off, probably you should rephrase your question so I could
understand the problem ;)

The scripts are supposed to be not platform dependent, the bindings
obviously are due to being compiled either for Linux or Windows.
By compilation the c-module intefacing with Python is bound to a
specific Python version. For windows this is AFAIK Python 2.3 (or maybe 2.2).

Some other plug-ins provide a GUI implmented with pygtk and will only work
if that's installed as well (you'll need a version compiled for the same
Python version as PyDia)

But there are more Python plug-ins (not only in the menu) e.g. save as
.svgz; PyDia Codegen, PyDia .dot, all have no dependency to pygtk ...

Also the three entries in the help menu (All Objects, PyDia Docs, Dia
Object Types) should work without gtk+.

I'm not sure what's included in the setup, though.

BTW: most of the scripts were developed under dia/win32 but also sometimes
used/tested by me and others under Linux.
