./util/waterfall:import pygtk
./util/waterfall:pygtk.require('2.0')
./util/cairo-view:import pygtk
./util/cairo-view:pygtk.require('2.0')

Grep'ing for pygtk it seems that this module uses the stable bindings provided
by PyGTK. 

As it is unlikely that anybody will continue maintaining these stable bindings,
applications using PyGTK should be ported to using the dynamic Python bindings
provided by PyGObject (now that PyGI has been merged into PyGObject).
The feedback on migration provided by application maintainers will also help
PyGObject to improve its dynamic bindings.

Please see http://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/PythonIntrospectionPorting for more
information and guidelines.

For help there is a mailing list at
http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk . For getting involved in the
development of pygobject there is a mailing list at
http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/python-hackers-list . There is also the
#python IRC channel on irc.gimp.net.
