The part you are missing is the SchevoGtk package.  Various GUI and web
tool pieces are packaged separately so you only have to install them if
you plan to use them.  The package for PyGtk is one such package.  One
way to get it is from Subversion and was described on the wiki page.
I've included the relevant quote below:

You will also need to check out the SchevoGTK product. The code can be
checked out of the Subversion repository at the following location:

http://schevo.org/svn/trunk/Gtk/

After you check it out you will need to run its setup script with the
develop option:

C:\path\to\schevo\trunk\Gtk> python setup.py develop

The setup program will add the SchevoGtk to your PYTHONPATH (via the
easy-install.pth file in Python24Libsite-packages) and will add a "gnav"
subcommand to the schevo commandline tool. You should then be able to
run commands such as:

C:\> schevo gnav

C:\> schevo gnav --help

C:\> schevo gnav somedatabase.db

Hope that helps.
