Pip Install PyGTK Error
ReadTheDocs => PygObject
If PyGTK is a python Package then why does it rely on such program as MSYS2 to be installed, and if this does need to be installed why is the terminal not mentioning this as an error or a necessary dependancy?
The given example pictures on the ReadTheDocs Website look like their installing it on a windows system from the 1970's so not sure how upto date that article is. Says Windows 7 and upwards.. I am running Windows 10 Home, Latest Updates...
Ps What are some good alternatives to PyGTK?
are there any that are better for GUI PyGTK alternatives
Not sure which ones in the list to look into has anyone used any of these?
The question that has been sugested as a duplicate is over 3 years old and MSYS2 still does not look like its is up to date or being actively maintained. Also I am using a different version of python.
Looking for a simple way to build GUI on windows, for basic task's and learning.
