Where are the reference manuals?

John Finlay has done amazing work in producing a reference manual for PyGTK2. The last html version of that manual (and a tarball) is always linked to from [www.pygtk.org] and it is the authoritative document on PyGTK itself. The most complete functional reference for the underlying GTK+ and GDK libraries lives at [www.gtk.org] , and it covers the native C bindings. The mapping from the C API to Python is quite straightforward, and the reference is actually quite thorough. The source code contains examples that are quite helpful (specially testgtk.py, which includes many widgets and features) in the examples/ directory. The gtk.py file itself is a worthy reference (praise to Python’s readability there) and many times will solve a prototype, api or parameter question.
