Both Gtk2 and Gtk3 are available for Windows.  Glade XML is typically
used on Gtk2 by the GtkBuilder class
(http://www.pygtk.org/pygtk2reference/class-gtkbuilder.html).  Gtk3 uses
http://python-gtk-3-tutorial.readthedocs.org/en/latest/builder.html.
The code you had in your OP was for Gtk3.

There are up-to-date packages of Gtk3 bindings for Python on Windows here:

I didn't see your original post a couple of weeks ago, which is too bad.

I'm not sure Gtk is better-looking on Windows.  It's always been the
ugly step-child there compared to Linux.

Tkinter has a Windows native look and feel, so there's no reason to not
use Tkinter if it suits your project:
