I've used it very little on Windows myself, just basic apps/widgets, but
from my experience it did work with relative ease. I believe there may
have been one or two small hitches to begin with, but after that I had
no problems.

For right now, if you want to use PyGTk+ on Windows, I believe you can
use it directly on top of the Win32 port of GTk+ done by Tor Lillqvist,
found here: http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/

Also, AFAIK, GTk+ 2.0 has a Win32 port provided in the core
distribution. So this should make it somewhat easier to get ahold of and
potentially more feature-complete.
