I think the stupidest mistake in recent times was calling it pygobject
and not inheriting the pygtk name (and I objected strongly at the time
too).

I think we can still change our mind here.

But more worryingly, I am not confident promoting pygobject as a
replacement for pygtk unless it (and gtk+g-i) is supported on windows.
In my experience, in the scientific computing sphere, people still use
pygtk/gtk2 because it works on windows, gtk3 gets destroyed by qt for
the same reason.

I don't really know what to do thought.
