PyGTK is licensed under the LGPL license so it’s perfectly legal to build non-open-sourced applications; two examples of closed source applications that are built using PyGTK are WingIDE and Point2Play. Note however that the fact that the program will be written in Python does present challenges in distributing the software and restricting access to source code. Some information on this topic can be found at [www.experts-exchange.com] — but also note that information on decompiling python bytecode can be found at [www.crazy-compilers.
