Yes it's a good choice.  And even with Python 2, GTK3 is a good choice
also.  GTK3 bindings are done somewhat differently than GTK2.  They are
done in a more dynamic fashion through introspection. The nice thing is,
with the gi.repository thing (which stands for gobject introspection),
you can easily make Python bindings to any GObject-based C library.

If you want to use GTK2, that's also possible, and GtkBuilder does work
with it.  I can post an example if you want.
