I've forwarded your mail to the pygtk mailinglist listed above as the
one you posted to is for website related issues.

With regards to the problems that website is pointing at, the simple
"import gtk" should work fine, as the pygtk import was only needed to
allow paralell installs of gtk 1.x and gtk 2.x. As gtk 1.x is now really
extinct (and shouldn't be installed anywhere) you can safely use just
the gtk import.

About the system path configuration, your system path needs to include
the "bin" folder of gtk+. So, if you're on windows, it'l look like
something similar to "C:\Program Files\GTK\bin" (you need to add it,
using a semicolon to separe it from other folders in the path).

Hope this helps,
