Solution

Building PyGTK using distutils is only supported on windows.

To build PyGTK in a supported way, read the INSTALL file.

PyGTK often dislikes being installed using pip or setup.py so instead read the INSTALL file within the PyGTK download. This should tell you how to install it properly.

If in doubt Google the issue as lots of forums provide a step by step to install PyGTK.
