There used to be, for GTK2, at http://pygtk.org.  But with the GTK3
bindings, they are now dynamic bindings using PyGObject, which itself is
documented here:  https://wiki.gnome.org/action/show/Projects/PyGObject.
 The resulting bound API closely resembles the GTK C API typically,
which is convenient, but not as Pythonic as the PyGTK2 bindings were.  I
assume there must be a tool out there that can autogenerate API docs (in
Python) for GTK3.

According to
https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/PyGObject/IntrospectionPorting, there's
a module called pygtkcompat that provides a very PyGTK-compatible API
that you can use while making the transition from PyGTK-style code.
