I had the files stored in my local space and my PYTHONPATH was wrong.
It seems PYTHONPATH should contain both ...lib/python2.x and
...lib/python2.x/site-packages while mine was simply ...lib (one'd
expect them to actually mention this in the documentation). Once I
fixed PYTHONPATH, it ran fine, although I still cant figure out why it
got pygtk in the first place coz it wasnt in PYTHONPATH the first time.
