PyGObject

PyGTK is a set of Python wrappers for the GTK+ graphical user interface library. PyGTK is free software and licensed under the LGPL. It is analogous to PyQt/PySide and wxPython, the Python wrappers for Qt and wxWidgets, respectively. Its original author is GNOME developer James Henstridge. There are six people in the core development team, with various other people who have submitted patches and bug reports. PyGTK has been selected as the environment of choice for applications running on One Laptop Per Child systems.

PyGTK will be phased out with the transition to GTK+ version 3 and be replaced with PyGObject, which uses GObject Introspection to generate bindings for Python and other languages on the fly. This is expected to eliminate the delay between GTK updates and corresponding language binding updates, as well as reduce maintenance burden on the developers.

The python code below will produce a 200x200 pixel window with the words "Hello World" inside.

PyGTK has been used in a number of notable applications, some examples:

PyGObject provides a wrapper for use in Python programs when accessing GObject libraries. GObject is an object system used by GTK+, GLib, GObject, GIO, GStreamer and other libraries.
