    Finally, there's the brand-new (and currently very frequently updated) PyGObject all-in-one installer (mainly aiming to provide PyGObject-instrospected Gtk+3 Python bindings etc. for Windows), so if that's what you're looking for, go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/pygobjectwin32/files/?source=navbar
