New to Gtk ?

It might be case, that you don’t even know what is Gtk and perhaps be wondering how to get started. The following is a quotation from Wikipedia’s page for Gtk.

GTK (formerly GTK+ GIMP Toolkit) is a free and open-source cross-platform widget toolkit for creating graphical user interfaces (GUIs). It is licensed under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License, allowing both free and proprietary software to use it. Along with Qt, it is one of the most popular toolkits for the Wayland and X11 windowing systems. (Source : Wikipedia)

Learning the basics of Gtk will be easy with Python. To get familiar with developing Gtk applications, please have a look at the official docs.
