Thank you for your work on these bindings and the frequent updates. The coverage is amazing and everything seems to work great out of the box.
Any chance we can get detailed instructions on how you go about building these on win32? I am especially interested in possibly building Gtk libs for x64 in order to compile PyGObject for python 3 x64.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Sorry I never check this board before (silly me), 64bit port is on the way.
I decided to delay it as my testbed was XP 32bit. Pygi 3.4.2 has rudimentary pygobject win64 which I tested a working hello world. But the toolchain is complicated cause mingw-w64 wont work for gir generation.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I changed my mind :p
I'll delay further the win64 port until newer GTK become better than GTK 3.8.x
FYI
- mingw-w64 could build binding and runtime just fine (slightly different than mingw32).
- SEH support (gcc 4.8.x) is recommended for win64 port.
- most of typelibs are bitness interchangeable except Glib (and maybe other low level libraries) AFAIK.

Forgot about the instructions (still WIP though):
