在 Windows 10 上安装 gtk3 + Glade

Question

I am new to python and I have been trying to install gtk3 to use with glade to build a GUI with Python 2.7. I have successfully installed Glade, however I am having some major issues finding and running gtk3 for windows. I have visited the gtk website and have followed their instructions with the MSYS2 installer, but when I try to conda install with the anaconda prompt or import gtk, I get errors saying that there is no module named gtk. I have also downloaded the win64 zip of gtk3 from tarnyko and have tried to put the unzipped file into Lib>site-packages ad then try to conda install and import, but still no luck. I'm running on a 64 bit Windows 10 OS.

Does anyone knows how to properly get everything installed and running?

Answer 1

Please avoid the tarnyko releases, as they are out-of-date and unmaintained now (3.6 while the last GTK+ version as I'm writing this is 3.22). The preferred way to install GTK on Windows is through MSYS2, as stated on the GTK+ download page for Windows . I rewrote that page a few weeks ago, and I'll do my best to fix things there if needed.

Now please explain this:

What do you mean by conda install ? You should only use the pacman package manager provided by MSYS2 to setup your environment. Did you follow all the instructions on http://www.msys2.org ? Did you install using pacman the gtk3 library? Did you install the python bindings as stated in Step 4 (optional): Install the Python bindings ?

I got a running system by just exactly following step by step the instructions I have put on the GTK website. So please make sure you read and follow every step, and copy-paste error messages here when they happen.
