"tested versions" on Win XP - unable to 'import glib'

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
 1. install "tested versions" listed in "install/setup.bat"
 2. start python interpreter
 3. do: import glib

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Should be no ouput. I see: NameError. Iam unable to 'import glib' bindings when 
installed "tested versions" on Windows XP.

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.

For calling callback I want to use glib.idle_add().

Problem is, that if I use GTK versions listed in "install/setup.bat" I am 
unable to do: 'import glib'. I got NameError.
From install\setup.bat:
:: Tested with:
::  python-2.6.2.msi
::  gtk2-runtime-2.14.7-2009-01-13-ash.exe
::  gtk2-themes-2008-10-22-ash.exe
::  py2exe-0.6.9.win32-py2.6.exe
::  pycairo-1.4.12-2.win32-py2.6.exe
::  pygobject-2.14.2-2.win32-py2.6.exe
::  pygtk-2.12.1-3.win32-py2.6.exe
::  nsis-2.45-setup.exe
::  AccessControl.zip

Problem vanishes if I use following (current) versions (I didn't check any 
other versions):

python-2.6.5.msi
gtk2-runtime-2.22.0-2010-10-21-ash.exe
gtk2-themes-2009-09-07-ash.exe
py2exe-0.6.9.win32-py2.6.exe
pycairo-1.8.10.win32-py2.6.exe
pygobject-2.26.0.win32-py2.6.exe
pygtk-2.22.0.win32-py2.6.exe
nsis-2.46-setup.exe
nsis-AccessControl.zip

After installing current versions it's also required to change install/setup.py 
on line 44:
'includes': 'cairo, pango, pangocairo, atk, gobject',
add library:
'includes': 'cairo, pango, pangocairo, atk, gobject, gio',

Now Im able to run setup.bat and generate installer and also 'import glib' in 
scripts.

Is it OK to change versions and change setup.py?
Or is it any other way to use 'import glib' with "tested versions"?

I rather not change the installer that will probably make it bigger.
Why do you want to import glib?

I will test using (current) versions and see if the installer grows.

Yes. Installer grows - about 1MB.

Main event loop provides several methods. One of them is idle_add or 
timeout_add. 
In python bindings the function is in glib.idle_add().

I finish installing all the requirement and the installer with the latest 
versions is 9.69MB that is not that much from the current installer.

Also I noticed that all the required packages for Python 2.7 are available, I 
guess we should jump directly to 2.7

What do you think?

Well - I will be really glad to move to newer GTK. Also it's good thing to move 
to new version of python as well.

Great we are moving to Python 2.7, I will do some testing over the week, and 
let's see if we can get a new release by the weekend...

If you have some time please install it and see if there are any bugs...
