Installation of pygobject with gtk on windows.

[Nicolas Brack <nicolas brack mail be>]

Hello,

I'm writing a small application for name generation, that I want to share with various people.  
Unfortunately, a lot of said people are not passionate GNU/Linux user as I am, and so porting the application 
for windows is important.  I am not a main windows developer.  I didn't use C to write the app and I already 
have a small prototype in python3 that works under Gnu/Linux using PyGObject for Gtk3.  I now want to, 
firstly, have a decent installation of PyGObject and Gtk on windows so the program run and, secondly, be able 
to build an installer bundling the python and gnome dependencies to run standalone on windows.

I'm already stuck at that first step.  After many failures, I reinstall python3 with the official install and 
with pip.  Since pip show PyGObject to be of version 2-28-3 when downloading it, which seems  waaay outdated, 
I tried to pick a more official installer from this sourceforge page : 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pygobjectwin32/files/.  The installer fails to recognize a key in the 
registry and suggest to find the installation path from %PATH%.  It does find the correct installation 
directory "C:\Python-35\Lib\site-packages".  I select the base package, Gtk, Glade and the documentation 
browser to be installed.  The installer finishes successfully.  Glade and devhelp run without problem, 
however I cannot load pygobject in python itself.

    >>> from gi.repository import Gtk
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
    ImportError: No module named 'gi'

The folder site-packages, only lists a folder "gnome" (besides pip, setuptools, easy_install and 
pkg_resources).  Importing package "gnome" yield an empty package.  Am I missing a step?  What should I do 
for being able to import "gi" under windows?

Python developers concerned with windows, please help me!  I thank you already!
