[pygtk] pyGTK for Mac OSX

Hi,

I have a pygtk application that I need to get running on MAC OSX.
Could you please advise me on the easiest way to get pygtk running on mac?
I have read the FAQ and attempted to use jhbuild to build gtk and pygtk.
The problem with that approach has always been that building gtk almost never works. Every time I attempt to do it, I get a different error with some cryptic C message of a dependency not compiling. 
One time It claimed success, but after running the jhbuild build meta-gtk-osx-python command, and getting success, something still had to go wrong because the file gtk.py and pygtk.py were nowhere to be found on my harddisk, so I cannot import and use them.

I guess my question is: Are there some stable tar balls with all dependencies? Is there maybe a function in jhbuild to force it to use a specific version that is known to work? Is there something else that I could try?

I appreciate any help that you can give me on this issue, I have tried to get this working for about a week now :(
