Kabikaboo should run on Windows, but doesn't.
I have not been able to get GtkSourceView2 to work on Windows.
Kabikaboo is designed to be cross platform and work on Linux, Mac, Windows.
Basically anything that can run Python and GTK.

A Windows installer is planned.
More detailed information on it here:

Maybe you could get it to work?

I dont run Windows so someone with Windows who wants Kabikaboo needs to take the torch here...

I have various Windows machines available, and did manage to get Kabikaboo 1.6 working. Py2exe works like a charm (except for the icon, which I am having trouble setting. Figures, it's the small things.) I am testing an installer that appears to work, with the only dependency being MSVC++, a free and small download from the Microsoft website (If it isn't on your computer already). Hopefully will have it done before New Years at the latest.

Works for me on WindowsXP!

It's official: Kabikaboo runs on Windows! :)
(thanks to Cody Jackson for the hard work behind this)
