GTK+:
	Use GTK+ if your programming language is C
- -	It is more cumbersome to program
+	Your application executes faster

PyGTK:
	Use PyGTK if your programming language is Python
+	It is easier (and more fun :) ) to program
- -	Your application executes more slowly

Start out with the programming language you know.  Lern GTK+ if you know
C, or PyGTK if you know Python.  If you don't know either C or Python,
Python is *way* easier to learn than C, but C is also simple enough.  I
learned both (C / GTK+ first).

I personally browse the GTK+ source code (yes, the library's code)
sometimes to find out "best practise" / some examples / how stuff works.
 But normally you do not need to do this if you just program in PyGTK
and are not a perfectionist like me. :o)

Greetings,
Felix
