Except that Py2EXE is not the only method of "freezing" apps. In 
particular, you'd want this to work with OS-X's Py2App, and probably 
other methods of bundling apps.

you might want:

matplotlib.FROZEN = hasattr(sys, 'frozen')

and

if not matplotlib.FROZEN
    pygtk.require('2.0')

Then you could also accommodate other keywords that other bundling 
methods use.

BTW, is someone really successfully using PyGTK on Windows? Cool!
