Can i write a GUI for fedora using pygtk?

Question

I would like to write my own frontend for an operating system in python my current choice is linux fedora but after the install i would then remove the x window system so that i could write my own OS frontend but would it still work or does pygtk need the x window system to function?

have you researched pygtk to learn of its dependencies? – joel goldstick Jul 09 '16 at 21:43 — joel goldstick, Jul 09 '16 at 21:43

Looks like you can run gtk 2 on the framebuffer, so, without X:

Since pygtk seems to use gtk 2, it could work.
