What is PyGTK?

PyGTK is a powerful toolkit that enables the creation of sophisticated graphical user interface (GUI) applications using the Python programming language. The underlying GTK+ library provides a comprehensive set of visual elements and utilities, allowing developers to build full-featured applications for the GNOME Desktop environment. PyGTK applications are truly multiplatform, capable of running unmodified on various operating systems, including Linux, Windows, and macOS. Alongside its ease of use and rapid prototyping capabilities, PyGTK boasts distinctive features such as first-class accessibility support and the ability to handle complex multilingual or bidirectional text, enabling the development of fully localized applications. Moreover, PyGTK is free software, adhering to the LGPL license, which grants users the freedom to use, modify, distribute, and study the toolkit with minimal restrictions
