After a quick search I found https://askubuntu.com/a/97107 : "PyGTK has been deprecated in favor of PyGI+GTK. Because of that, a version of PyGTK for Python 3 was never written." I will try to port selinux-gui to PyGI [2] in order to reduce the dependency towards Python 2. Before I start this work, are there already other people working on this? More precisely there have been some patches/commits related to this, like 9a57996dfa9a ("sandbox: Use GObject introspection binding instead of pygtk2") and 917f398d7cd2 ("policycoreutils: Use GObject introspection binding instead of python-gobject in selinux_server.py") and I am wondering whether their authors also looked at selinux-gui (and command system-config-selinux).
