i would not count on it.
i have benn trying to learn GUI programming for the last week or so.
i have found pyGTK way less user freindly and lacking in good tutorials 
then Tkinter. i have already done ion Tkinter in 0.5 day what i could 
not in pyGTK in 2 or 3.
now i admit i did not understand pygtk docs but thats a serious problem.
