From PyGTK 2.22.0 announcement.
PyGTK-2.24 will be next and last PyGTK version, and if you’re willing to write a GTK+ application in Python it’s highly recommended that you use PyGObject, because it’s the project that will be supporting GTK+3 (and later).
At the moment it’s unlikely that your distribution has packaged a recent enough PyGObject, and the introspection modules are beta anyway, so I guess it’s a uncertain moment to start a new GTK+ application in Python.
