There are two ways of running PyGTK on OS X.

One way is running it with native support, which is still in early stages of development and is not feature complete yet. There are currently (as of JUNE 2008) no available binaries for GTK+ running natively under OSX, so you need to compile GTK+ yourself. The instructions here tell you how to BUILD GTK+, but not PyGTK; after following the steps here you also must do "jhbuild build meta-gtk-osx-python".

The second way is using Apple's X11 server, which is CLOSER to other Unix systems for portability, but won't integrate very well with the rest of the OS X desktop. If you are running Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther) or above X11 is available as an OPTIONAL feature from the install CDs.
