I don't know how experienced you are with Python.  I started playing 
with PyGTK, having absolutely no previous experience with Python.  
That method of learned is Not Recommended.

If you 'import gtk' instead of 'from gtk import *', you will import the 
complete function names.  The syntax of this is _very_similar_ to C GTK.  
In fact, it's almost identical.

Example with 'import gtk' (looks like C)
button = gtk_button_new_with_label('Button')

Example with 'from gtk import *' (faster to type, more Python-ish)
button = GtkButton('Button')

Both do the same thing.  I would recommend using 'import gtk' until you 
know more about it.  Since the syntax is so similar between Python and C, 
I simply use the C GTK reference from www.gtk.org.

A bunch of examples come with PyGTK, notably "testgtk.py".  I learned 
a lot (and am learning a lot) from that script.

Hope this helps,
