Not so.  I'm using it currently and have been using it for a
couple years now.

I've no idea where that idea came from.  It runs just fine on
all the Linux distro's I've tried it on.

Why don't you try them?  I've only used PyGTK under Linux, so I
can't vouche for it under Windows.  Under Linux it worked fine
for me.  I've used wxPython under Linux and deployed on
Windows.  Worked fine for me.
