I don't think Conduit is compatible with the latest PyGObject, which means Conduit is probably not able to run on Natty. Not sure if there any plans to change this upstream either, it's a lot of work to port it.

[John Stowers (nzjrs)]

The latest PyGObject (2.28) will be parallel installable with PyGObject 3.0 - which means that Conduit is compartible with the latest Natty. Natty will continue to run existing PyGTK applications no problem.

I do have plans to eventually port to PyGObject + gobject-introspection, but that will require Introspection support in Goocanvas first.
