> Hi.  I'm Alice, and I have no idea what you're talking about.  I'm heavily invested in PyGTK2 in a long-term project.  As far as I can tell, PyGObject is a low level library that doesn't serve the same purpose as PyGTK at all.  What's the relationship between the new PyGObject and the old?  What kind of porting do I have to look forward to, and on what time scale?

With PyGObject (since version 2.26) you can access any library with
GObject Introspection support, for example GTK+. A complete list here:

There are some tips here: [3]
Also, there is a GnomeGoal to port applications from PyGTK to
PyGObject here: [4]
