For those that don't fully follow, this would be for next release+1, so a
Gramps 4.0 that uses python 3.x and this pygi instead of pygtk, as pygtk
would not be ported to python 3. GTK was the piece missing to use python
3.x, but we are too far in the development cycle to change plans and pygi
seems to miss a lot still (starting with documentation I think), so Gramps
3.3 remains python 2. 5+
