Windows - Try Before You Buy

Often there will be several GTK apps that do much the same thing. On Windows, it is a good idea to just unzip the application into the download directory and try it out before installing it into the Windows program directory. It's easier to uninstall that way, usually by just deleting it.

Some downloads offer a complete package, including GTK itself. Recommended.

GTK and Python

Also huge support for GTK in Python world.
