[pygtk] PyGTK Installer(Was: Pygtk.org website IRC Meeting)

[Peter Morgan]

Wonderful stuff.. Guess your the "pyGTK Santa Claus" this year spending 
x-mas at it.. ;-) Thank you.

 ..although I haven't had time to test the install yet as  I haven't got 
a Windows machine nearby , but its the first thing I need to do when I 
find a victim.

There are a few questions however.

What is this ?
http://gladewin32.sourceforge.net/modules/news/
Does it include a glade interface designer (like glade3) for Windows ?

If there an "introductory" web page sintalled as well or is this 
something that needs to be done (I can do it)


As far as the installers go I see it as 2 installers

the dev enviroment - this also includes the pygtk ref, tutorial, guide, 
glade designer, pygtk example applications, and the basic introductory 
docs. Hopefully a bit of a  "Welcome to the platform"

and the run time - ie gtk, pygtk and python.

I also assume that the installer can check to see if there is python 
installed for example, or is it up to the python installer to do that? 
eg a minumum version required.


Food for thought
