Examples of well written simple PyGTK apps?

I'm looking to get my hands dirty with PyGTK and was wondering if anyone can recommend any relatively simple, really cleanly written PyGTK apps that I can look to for best practices or examples? Any type of app will do, as long as it's simple-ish (i.e., please don't recommend a huge app) and generally considered to be well written.

The list of PyGTK apps is huge and really nice but I have no idea which of those apps are good examples and which should be more used as examples of what not to do.

+3  A: 

Pycasa seems to be a well made open source little application.

Pycasa is a desktop application to manage (download and upload) Picasa photo albums. It is written in Python, using PyGtk to build its GTK graphical interface.

Er, well-made? It wouldn't even log in to Picasa without crashing... I think the OP needs some well-established app that the Gnome platform uses heavily, like what GEdit is for GTK programming in C.

@ptomato: did you take trunk or one of the releases? On Windows or Linux?

@voyager: Release 1.0, Linux. Not to hijack the question, but if you have experience with getting it to work, I'd like to know, because the app seems like something I'd want to use ;-)
