looks like for me the gobject module is here:
/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gobject.so

so probably you don't have the python gtk-2.0 bindings installed...

you don't mention which distro you use..  but say if it's debian based 
(or fedora/redhat with apt-get installed), do:

$> apt-cache search pygtk

then

$> apt-get install <pygtk2 package>

... might need pygtk2-devel  as well, if you're building matplotlib... 
can't remember.

cheers,
peter
