:)...almost.  I can do "from gtk import *", but here is a Python session
that is strange:

Python 2.1.1 (#1, Jul 22 2001, 14:53:37) 
[GCC 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-81)] on linux2
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin> ", line 1, in ?
  File "gtk.py", line 21, in ?
    import _gtk
ImportError: No module named _gtk
