pyftinspect "import gtk" means it won't run on macOS

See original GitHub issue

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/pyftinspect", line 7, in <module>
    from fontTools.inspect import main
  File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/fontTools/inspect.py", line 19, in <module>
    import gtk
ImportError: No module named gtk

how do I get gtk module on macOS?

Thanks, I eventually spotted that but had got in such a mess it was easier to nuke homebrew (and thus newer python) and start again. Just checked my .bash_profile and i did use that caveat method. annoying that it doesn’t pause for user input when it displays that!!!
