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.
