I just apt-get source python-vte, rm'd python/vte.c from the tree, and
ran dpkg-buildpackage. This made a working python module for me, and I'm
using python 2.3 and pygtk 2.6.

I think something is wrong with your specific setup. Probably the whole
strace will give me some clues.

There isn't anything python 2.4 specific about what any version of
pygtk-codegen-2.0 generates.
