PyGTK and Py2Exe troubles

[Tim N. van der Leeuw]

I tried to create a windows executable of a pygtk program. My first
attempt worked, kinda, except that no themes were applied and no
readable fonts were found by pango; so all letters where just empty
squares. But the program worked.

I looked up some docs, found the following recipe on the PyGTK Wiki
site:
http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/moin.cgi/Py2exeAndPyGTK

I followed those instructions to convert my setup.py file; everything
still worked the same as before.

Then I copied GTK's 'etc', 'share' and 'lib' directories into the
directory of my executable, as per instructions.

That's when it all went wrong...

(See errors below)

Apart from the errors below, there were also multiple windows
error-reporting popup boxes telling me that the program crashed; do I
want to send info to Microsoft.

If anyone can help me getting a PyGTK GUI running as standalone
executable, that would be very much appreciated!

I know it's possible, BitTorrent had a PyGTK GUI on windows.

(I'm not that attached to PyGTK as such, but I'm somewhat familiar with
it and it has a good multi-column TreeView widget with inline editing.
That's what I need for my program, and wxPython didn't seem to have a
very workable solution for multicolumn treeviews...)
