Well, that's not really true. GTK and PyGTK are multiplatform and work
now on Windows an OS X, with native ports, but the packaging story is
much better on systems with real package management or ready for
building from sources.
The problem here is that there aren't enough people working on easy
installation of GTK+ and PyGTK on windows or OS X, so I'd say that any
effort in that direction is very welcome.
