learning pygtk

i’ve got some apps i want to write for the neo1973/freerunner. the standard interface appears to be gtk+. my preferred programming language is python so i’ve been going through the pygtk tutorial. most of the limited interface work i’ve done is in visual basic so i’m not entirely comfortable with the event handling and widget construction of gtk but i suppose it just takes practice.
i’m interested in developing some location-based services on the neo1973 and did some reading last night on calculating the distance between two latitude/longitude coordinate pairs. math certainly isn’t my strong point so i’m not sure if the equation here:

will work as is. any suggestions are welcome.
later

Yikes. The formula on Dr. Math looks right but I’d hate to rederive by hand. Probably easiest to just stick directly into python and see if it tests.
