Actually the stable Gtk 1.2 has been out for a couple months now, and pygtk
was pretty much Gtk 1.2 ready when it came out.

It's not a framework; it's a toolkit.  GNOME, on the other hand, does
provide a framework.

Well, tkinter is not a framework, either.  pygtk has more widgets than
tkinter and is much faster, but otherwise I find a lot of similarities
between them.  Some aspects of Gtk are obviously inspired by Tk.

Frederick Lundh's intro is pretty good, 

http://www.pythonware.com/library/tkinter/introduction/

but Tkinter makes a lot more sense to those who know Tcl/Tk already.
