How To Install pygtk2 on CentOS 8
pygtk2 is Python bindings for GTK+
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install pygtk2 on CentOS 8.
What is pygtk2
PyGTK is an extension module for Python that gives you access to the GTK+ widget set. Just about anything you can write in C with GTK+ you can write in Python with PyGTK (within reason), but with all the benefits of using a high-level scripting language.
We can use yum or dnf to install pygtk2 on CentOS 8. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install pygtk2.
Install pygtk2 on CentOS 8 Using dnf
Update yum database with dnf using the following command.
sudo dnf makecache --refresh
The output should look something like this:
CentOS Linux 8 - AppStream 43 kB/s | 4.3 kB 00:00
CentOS Linux 8 - BaseOS 65 kB/s | 3.9 kB 00:00
CentOS Linux 8 - ContinuousRelease 43 kB/s | 3.0 kB 00:00
