Python + GTK (Score 1)

I was pleasantly suprised at how easy it is to develop with Python and GTK on both Linux and Windows. Right now I am doing a little hobby project and I can copy my source tree from my Windows box to my Linux laptop and it runs exactly the same. It took an hour or two with google to find all the packages I needed on windows, while my linux distro (Suse) installed them automagically.

These are the files I installed:

• python-2.4.2.msi
• gtk+-2.8.9-setup-1.zip
• pycairo-1.0.2-1.win32-py2.4.exe
• pygtk-2.8.4-1.win32-py2.4.exe
• pysqlite-2.1.2.win32-py2.4.exe

Then a futzing with the PATH and LIB variables and everything works nicely. I can use Glade to build the gui, pygtk to load it, and sqlite to store data.
