> whats the difference between positional and keyword parameter

This is a python general question, it has nothing to do with pygtk
itself, anyway:

def func(arg1, arg2, arg3=something, arg4=someotherthings):
    pass

arg1 and arg2 are positional args while arg3 and arg4 are keyword args.

you could write the same as

def func(*args, **kwargs)

If you mean the difference in parsing the arguments with python C API,
the concept is the same, refer to
http://docs.python.org/api/arg-parsing.html for a good explanation.
