Hi, I found these were required reading for using pygtk

FAQ: http://www.async.com.br/faq/pygtk/index.py?req=all
Tut: http://www.moeraki.com/pygtktutorial/pygtk2tutorial/index.html
Ref: http://www.moeraki.com/pygtkreference/pygtk2reference/

Note pygtk has just in the last few days reached version 2.
Also note that mandrake 9.2 will include it by default
Here is a useful search for existing mandrake and suse users:
