title: How to compile pygtk from source for python2.6 on ubuntu 12.04
body: <p>I have a application which is stuck at python2.6. I cannot port it to python2.7 due to specific and complicated extensions.</p>
  
  <p>The probleme is that 12.04 removes pygtk for python2.6 as python2.7 becomes the default python version. </p>
  
  <p>I need then to build pygtk for python2.6 from source. I have followed the readme but I am doing something wrong. (the doc is quite succinct)</p>
  
  <p>The build looks ok, as I can import gtk if I am in the decompressed archive folder (I do a <em>python -c 'import gtk'</em>).
  But the make install doesn't work properly.</p>
  
  <p>AFAICT, I have export'ed PYTHON &amp; PYTHONPATH variables to the proper path.</p>
  
  <pre><code>PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages
  PYTHON=/usr/bin/python2.6
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any idea on what's wrong with this config ? </p>
