The important bit is that it will not ditch Python-support.

I can't comment at the actual differences between pygtk and the upcoming
reflection-based approach, but I doubt learning pygtk now is a
waste. First of all, it will be quite a while until pygtk (and gnome
2.x) are really gone.

And even if, the concepts stay the same, so unless pygtk adds an extra
layer of abstraction (which AFAIK it doesn't), your knownledge is still
usable - if not translatable one-to-one.
