[matplotlib-devel] PyGTK vs PyGObject

[todd r. <tod...@gm...>]

I am trying to do some experimental packages with python 3 and the
latest RC, and I am trying to figure out the situation with some of
the backends.  Some are obvious, like wxwidgets and PyQt (Qt3
version).

The issue I am running into is with the gtk backend  PyGTK is
deprecated.  According to the website, all development halted a year
and a half ago and they say to use PyGObject instead.  PyGTK, as far
as I can tell, does not support Python 3 or GTK 3.  PyGObject,
however, supports both.  So I was wondering what I should be doing
with this backend.  Does matplotlib support PyGObject, or should the
GTK backends just be disabled on Python 3 builds?

Thanks for your help.
