Below are tables of when and where various versions of Python and GTK+ became available.
Each version links to the corresponding release notes, and I'll keep these lists up to date for your bookmarking pleasure.
I found this info hard to find when making release 2.40 of my pygtk application FSlint. In that release I silenced various deprecation warnings emanating from python and GTK+. Now Python and GTK+ have good backwards compatibility, and silencing deprecation warnings introduced in new minor versions can be easily achieved. However every so often it's better to go with the flow, and increase the version required to both minimize deprecation hacks and maximize the features available.
In this particular case, newer GTK+ versions have started to deprecate the GtkFileSelection widget in favour of GtkFileChooser. After some searching I saw that this new widget was made available in GTK+ 2.4, but it was not immediately obvious what was the appropriate Python version to move up to. I picked Python 2.3, as suggested by the tables below.
Update Apr 2011 - pygtk is no more
PyGObject + GObject Introspection is the future. I'll still update this page though with each Python and GTK+ release.Python releases
See the porting sections in the linked release notes below to summarize the features deprecated by each release.
