Well, pygtk-2.8 binaries are up-to-date as far as I know (2.8.6).

I will upload pycairo-1.2, pygobject-2.12 and pygtk-2.10 later today,
for both python 2.4 and 2.5, so stay tuned. But please note that
GTK+-2.10 is not widely available for win32 yet, at least not from the
major sites like gladewin32 or gimp for win32, so installation might
not be as straightforward as with pygtk-2.8.
