the online version is http://www.pygtk.org/pygtk2tutorial/

Hi all,

The reasoning for these "incorrect" links is that I never considered
people not using Ubuntu would read the documentation online, so both of
those links point to files on the local drive rather than their online
equivalents. I don't know how much of an issue this is...

diveintopython is a dependency of ubuntu-desktop, and the pygtk tutorial
has instructions to install python-gtk2-tutorial beforehand.
