I had to setup an pygtk env last week and my previous experience
with perl-gtk was a bit frightening (find the libraries from 5 or
different sites, compile some, re-compile perl itself, patch,
patch, patch)...

Then, from http://www.pygtk.org/, I found:

 http://osl.ulpgc.es/~arc/gnome/pygtk-setup.exe

Right on the first page :)

The installer provides:
- gtk required libs,
- python,
- pygtk.

May be not the latest versions, but recent enough.

There is an option to *not* install the python provided though
(if you have one already).

On a clean XP, it installed flawlessly (many clicks but no
answers needed :).

And the guy said
(http://aruiz.typepad.com/siliconisland/2006/12/allinone_win32_.html):
"If you wanna help, patches are welcome".

Which means that an even simpler installer may be created.

Once installed, I pointed BZR_PLUGIN_PATH to my linux mounted
~/.bazaar/plugins, just for fun (half hoping it will be enough
but ready for the worse)..

And you know what ? It worked. viz, gblame, anything I could
think of in my 5 minutes tests.

May be windows may not be *so* hard to support for bzr-gtk.
