Hi Mark,

I suppose a full all-in-one would be:
- python 2.6.5

However - as most users will already have a version of Python - I think just
needing three installers would be OK
To reduce it to two - maybe we could lobby for the existing "all-in-one" to
include the two pygtk installers...
but as that package currently contains no python bindings at all - this is
probably not likely.
The problems that, in my experience, arise more frequently in the #pygtk IRC
channel are:
- not choosing the right versions combination of PyGObject, PyGTK, PyCairo,
GTK+ runtime and Python interpreter.
- incomplete GTK+ runtime installation, either because they fail to tweak
the system path or because they find obsolete installers.
- miss some step (not installing GTK+ is not uncommon).
IMHO, the most useful installer would be one providing:
- the GTK+ runtime
- PyGTK
- PyGObject
- PyCairo (not strictly necessary for PyGTK, but convenient)
that is able to detect whether the Python interpreter is already installed or
not and can install it if needed.
Possibly, the GTK+ runtime installation could be made optional.

Rafael Villar Burke
