Further to the above the following page:-
https://docs.python.org/3/library/othergui.html
Seems to muddy the water even further as the links don't *seem* to
take one to the places one would expect them to go to. The PyGObject
link goes to https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/PyGObject and the PyGtk
link goes to https://pygobject.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ which would
also appear to be pygobject.
