Details
The python bindings (gtkvnc.py) are no installed as part of
gtk-vnc 0.6.0, which they were previously. It appears that
--with-python needs to be added to the ./configure step. (I
have not tried it myself, though).
Additional info: extra/gtk-vnc 0.6.0-1 Steps to reproduce: Install gtk-vnc, look for gtkvnc.py |
This task depends upon

Reason for closing: Won't implement
Additional comments about closing: Nothing in repositories needs the python bindings or the gtk2 version of this library, so we're not going to add them to this package. See PKGBUILD provided by Jan Steffens if you need them.

Well, it's an AUR package that I maintain, openxenmanager-git. It uses the python bindings to display a vnc console.
I did a bit of experimentation, and I have to be honest that my theory above is not really complete. I didn't actually manage to get the python bindings built... But that is likely mostly due to lacking skills on my part.
Support for either Python and Gtk3 is available through gobject-introspection (python-gobject). Porting your software to use that would be the ideal solution.
The attached PKGBUILD should produce the stuff you're missing.
I'll have look at it as soon as I get out from under my current mountain of work :-(
