From official GNOME docs:

"Attention: PyGTK 2.24 will be the last release in the PyGTK series and will support the full GTK-2-24 API. PyGTK should not be used for new projects and existing PyGTK applications are recommended to be ported to PyGObject. See here for more information."

https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/PyGTK/WhatsNew224

Please stop asking me to update this package. I only "keep" it, so that it is not messed with by others, as some older applications still rely on it to function.

Thank you.

digitalone, thanks so much!

It's working now. Updated with the binary package from archive.

I had to split it 4 parts. Sha256sum: 1c5392dfe239197a9ab8c12d71c7102593b9074b8cf97c6857c8a9a358eadc19

@RainmakerRaw You must first build a downgrade https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/downgrade/ And then issue the command sudo downgrade pygtk. And it will download and install the current version here.

I can update a working PKGBUILD from archive binary, but I'm not able to upload it because the file is greater than 250 KB. I'm trying to split it in smaller files, but makepkg seems not accepting them.

The alternative is to use the archive URL, but it expires after one year and I don't want people to complain in April 2021 that the package is missing.

@robson, how? I'm on a new install and as far as I can see this package was only submitted yesterday. The Wiki only refers to downgrading in respect to official packages (which have a separate official archive). I guess I'm missing something (I don't pretend to be an expert).

Install pygtk via downgrade.

This is failing to build for me (I needed it for fahcontrol). The output is huge but I've included what I think are the relevant sections below:
