Afaik, you've got two choises:

1. edit the environment variable PYTHONPATH to contain the pygtk 
module's dir (it should be somewhere under 
/S/L/L/Python-<version>/site-packages)

2. add it to the file named "pygtk.pth" which you can find under the 
same dir as above. If you don't have it, just create it. Mine looks like 
this:

/System/Links/Libraries/python2.5/site-packages/gtk-2.0/
/System/Links/Libraries/python2.4/site-packages/gtk-2.0/
/System/Links/Libraries/python2.3/site-packages/gtk-2.0/
