I just updated the build guide and build scripts to refer to Python 2.7.
The versions I tested are

gtk+-bundle_2.22.0-20101016_win32.zip
python-2.7.msi
pygtk-2.22.0.win32-py2.7.exe
pycairo-1.8.10.win32-py2.7.exe
pygobject-2.26.0.win32-py2.7.exe
py2exe-0.6.9.win32-py2.7.exe

If you want to keep using Python 2.6, you have to change "python27" to
"python26" in a few places. See r 20987 for the changes.
