You should be able to confirm that by checking in Synaptic.

What exactly does that mean? Do you mean yhou get no errors? Does it 
mean you can execute some sample code?

The warnings above may not be serious, does gtk work in the sense of 
executing code? What happens if youi do help(gtk) ?

However, Gtk is not a mainstream package for beginners to Python and not 
part of the standard library and that's what this list is focused on. 
You might get more detailed help on a pygtk forum, or maybe even a 
generic GTk forum since the error probably refers to some basic GTk 
feature. It certainly isn't a pure python issue.

This page has some suggestions:
