You are using GTK+ version 2.0, according to your mail in another thread.

You are using PyGTK version 2.17.0, according to your mail in another
thread.

The PyGTK 2.24.0 documentation for ToggleToolButton at
http://developer.gnome.org/pygtk/stable/class-gtktoggletoolbutton.html
has a note to the right of the "active" property which says "This
property is available in GTK+ 2.8 and above."  The implication is that
the property is not available below GTK+ 2.8.  Since you have GTK+
version 2.0, the property is expected to be unavailable.

But it is surprising that you are using GTK+ version 2.0 ... could you
please check this version number?  It would be easy for you to misread
the output:

	COLUMNS=120 dpkg --list libgtk\*-dev

Here I see:

	ii libgtk2.0-dev 2.24.3-1~sid1 Development files for the GTK+ library

Which means I am using version 2.24.3.  The 2.0 in the package name is
not a version number.  This is an easy mistake to make.

Assuming you are using a version of GTK+ of 2.8 or later, I see no
explanation for your error.  I would need to see the source.  Please
post a pointer to your git repository, or web page containing the
source.

By the way, you can obtain matching version documentation for PyGTK on
your system by installing the package python-gtk2-doc, and then opening
the files on the system rather than on internet.
