Because I know the toolkit very well is the main reason.
I've been wanting to develop this application for a long time but never
had the time to do it. The biggest unknown being the time needed to
understand and port the graphing algorithm.
I eventually stumbled on Tristan's mail where he posted the complete
algorithm. That got me started and the first useable version took
me less than a day to develop.

Hum, at least not initially. But I'll gladly include any patches improving 
portability.

This might interest you anyway :
http://aruiz.typepad.com/siliconisland/2006/12/allinone_win32_.html
as the url says it's an all-in-one installer for pygtk
and the author seemed to share your view about the painfull process of
installing pygtk ;)
