Got it. Thanks for the reply: I'd about figured that was the case, but
it's nice to know for certain.

The reason I asked, incidentally, is because in about three weeks I'll
be helping teach an "Applied Python" class, for people who know Python
but may not yet know about various useful libraries that aren't in the
Python standard library -- like ElementTree (before 2.5, anyway),
SQLAlchemy, and PyGTK. If I can get a working PyGTK 2.10 on Windows by
then, I'll use it, otherwise I'll focus on PyGTK 2.8. (I doubt an
introduction to PyGTK, like the one I'm giving, will need to touch on
any of the new widgets introduced in 2.10 anyway, so it's probably not
going to make much difference either way).

Thanks for your help.
