For the impatient ones, pygtk 2.10 binaries for win32 are now available
for both python 2.4 and python 2.5 from

http://www.gustin.be/win32/pygtk/2.10/

You will also need a GTK+ 2.10 runtime environment. Grab binaries from
one of those sites

ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.10/win32
http://www.gnome.org/~bratsche/win32/

A gladewin32 installer for GTK+ 2.10 should also be released in the
coming days.

For those still interested in pygtk 2.8, binaries for python 2.5 can be
downloaded from

http://www.gustin.be/win32/pygtk/2.8/

This is a temporary storage location as the GNOME ftp servers will
hopefully host those files in the near future.

Please test and report bugs (if any).
