You should not do that, it is too early to use Python 3. > I installed python3.1 and wrote a simple app to test it using pygtk. but > python compiler says that it can't import pygtk. Python 3 is at the point where the language is more or less stable, and library authors can start to convert their library to the new version. Thus it is quite unlikely that you will find pygtk for python 3 in your distribution. (ie you can run 'python3', but there are no libraries that you can import). > I reinstalled python bindings for gtk (python-gtk on ubuntu), but no > modules added for python3. Even if you had pygtk for Python 3, there are lots of other libraries that are not converted yet, and thus are not available. No doubt you are welcome to assist in the conversion effort of pygtk to the new python 3. If you don't want to do that, you should not use Python 3. In particular, since almost all tutorials on Python assume Python 2. Also almost all Python code that exists is for Python 2. > Is it really possible to use them together, or am I missing some points? I don't know who, but surely some people are working on the conversion, and they probably welcome your help. In that case, it is likely that you will have to build a pygtk installation from source code, directly from a checkout of the repository. If you don't understand what I am saying, you better switch back to python 2.6, and enjoy pygtk.
