How do I install PyGTK / PyGobject on Windows with Python 2.6?

Question

I have an application which depends on PyGTK, PyGobject, and PyCairo that I built to work on Linux. I want to port it over to windows, but when I execute import gobject I get this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
    import gobject
  File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\gtk-2.0\gobject\__init__.py", line 30, in <module>
    from gobject.constants import *
  File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\gtk-2.0\gobject\constants.py", line 22, in <module>
    from _gobject import type_from_name
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified procedure could not be found.

This appears to be caused by the switch from building using MinGW to Microsoft Visual Studio, as documented Python Bug 3308 (closed: wontfix).

Is there any way to install PyGTK/PyGObject in a way that will work with Python 2.6 on Windows, without having to recompile one or the other from source?
