I'm trying to get a PyGTK app going on a Windows XP installation. It requires PyGTK 2.17. I have Python 2.6 and GTK 2.18 set up just fine, but of course there's no binary installer for PyGTK 2.17. So I grabbed the source from FTP[1], along with PyGObject, intending to build it under MinGW.
But it turns out I need PyGI to build PyGObject, and PyGI requires "Python development tools" to build, and searching the web for that problem yields nothing useful. So before I embark on some odyssey of pain trying to get this all to work, my question is: is there an easier way? A binary installer for PyGI for Windows? A binary installer for PyGTK 2.17? Please keep me CCd on replies. Cheers, Jason Heeris PS. By the way, I usually work on a Debian Squeeze/Sid system, with PyGTK 2.17.0 (installed from Debian repo). I thought maybe I could take the 2.17 tarball and build it somewhere in my home dir, but: ~/Projects/python-virt2/pygobject-2.21.4$ ../bin/python setup.py build --compiler=mingw32 --enable-threading --yes-i-know-its-not-supported bdist_wininst Error: distutils build only supported on windows Nuts.
