The easiest way to use it, if you want a quick port with the
fewest code changes, is:
from gi import pygtkcompat
pygtkcompat.enable()
pygtkcompat.enable_gtk(version='3.0')
I don't know if pygtkcompat is going to be supported forever

I'm a novice packager, trying to test a package I built and
uploaded to TestPyPI. It has dependencies and I want to make
sure my setup.py works before uploading to the real PyPI.
