things seems to work quite nicely! Great !

Some comments though: When installing pygobject and pygtk, at the end of 
the installer in the textview there is an error message:
close failed in file object destructor:
Error in sys.excepthook:

Original exception was:

But that doesn't prevent things to work.

Second point : there seems to be a problem with styles:
tree.rc_get_style().bg[gtk.STATE_ACTIVE].to_string() return 
#000000000000, then I do
renderer.set_property('cell-background', col2)
and background is black, of course, but bg[gtk.STATE_ACTIVE] should not 
return Black, I don't use a black theme.

Thanks for this installers!!
