One of the applications that uses GTK+ (version 2.X) and Python is
BitTorrent¹ (starting with version 4.0).  As far as I know, all GTK+ 2.x
applications under Windows have a native look.  I don't know my self as
I don't have Windows.  Here's some screen-shots for BitTorrent 4.x under
Windows and judge for yourself:

Click on "Screenshot vergrößern" in the 2nd one for a bigger image.  All
links above are German as this is the only ones I could find fast.

GTK+ is licensed under the GNU's LGPL (Lesser General Public License,
found in the source code or from the web²) which pretty much allows you
to link property code without any restrictions on that code *only*!
(Any modifications to the GTK+ source must be re-released to the public
of the whole package to be distributed or requested from a client who
have received a copy of said package/application.)

Sorry for being nit-picky (this is the 2nd time this day but on another
list!).
