Python and PyGTK is a great way to write GUI programs, and if you use 
glade to design the gui, it all becomes very easy to code and maintain.
I think the 'within reason' mean that 99.9 % of the API in GTK+ has be 
wrapped into pygtk, if you want to use the 0.1% you have to use C, i 
don't think you will ever need the 0.1% anyway.
