[EXC]No module named gtk

Oh, i just found bude #28731 which seems as fixed duplicate of this. But i don't see any package named pygobject in my Dapper?

the package is python2.4-gobject and python2.4-gtk2 Depends on it

I am attaching list of python packages installed on my system. python2.4-gobject and python2.4-gtk is included, but bug is still present

That's not the same bug as #28731 which was about "pygtk" not found

Could you run "python -c "import sys; print sys.path"" and copy that to a comment? Do you change your PYTHONPATH or install stuff to /usr/share/local by example?

['', '/usr/lib/python24.zip', '/usr/lib/python2.4', '/usr/lib/python2.4/plat-linux2', '/usr/lib/python2.4/lib-tk', '/usr/lib/python2.4/lib-dynload', '/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages', '/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages', '/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/HTMLgen', '/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/Numeric', '/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/PIL', '/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cairo', '/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gtk-2.0']

I did not change pythonpath at all

What about "ls /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk" and "strace -e open python -c "import gtk" 2>&1 | grep gtk.so"?

Thank you, for your concern

Thank you for replying to the comment, according to
"open("/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/_gtk.so", O_RDONLY) = 5" the "import gtk" works fine. With what application do you have the issue? Do you run those commands with the same user as the application? Could you try running "strace -e open <an_application_for_which_one_you_have_the_bug> 2>&1 | grep gtk.so"?

grep gtk.so returns nothing, but i am attaching complete strace of gdesklets

strace of gdesklets. ran as user jimmy, same as previous commands

could you do the same with strace -f -e open ... ?

jimmy@arkeia:~$ strace -f -e open -o strace2 gdesklets

Just attaching the strace from 2006-02-06 18:02:45 UTC, because that one was ran as root. (But the result is the same...)

jimmy@arkeia:~$ strace -e open python -c "import gtk" 2>&1 | grep gtk.so
open("gtk.so", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

It appears that I have this bug in ubuntu dapper (upgraded from breezy).

Is that specific to gdesklets? That strace indicates that gtk is loaded correctly

I get the same straces and I don't even have gdesklets installed, so no.

Programs like Update Manager also crash with this error.
Also: if the line pygtk.require("2.0") is removed, programs with this error will work, I have discovered - if that helps.

Could you run "ls /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pygtk* -l" and copy that to a comment?

Michael, do you have an idea on that?

Here's what I get:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8 2006-01-17 13:45 /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pygtk.pth
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2619 2006-01-17 13:45 /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pygtk.py
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1603 2006-02-14 15:41 /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pygtk.pyc
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1322 2006-02-14 11:51 /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pygtk.pyo
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2469 2005-11-27 19:48 /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pygtk.py.python-gtk-1.2

What about "ls /etc/alternatives/py* -l"?

Here:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 56 2006-02-16 16:04 /etc/alternatives/py2.4gtk.py -> /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pygtk.py.python-gtk-1.2

The alternative didn't get cleaned on upgrade. Does that update fixes your issue?

 pygtk (2.8.4-0ubuntu3) dapper; urgency=low
 .
   * debian/python2.4-gtk2.preinst:
     - clean the pygtk1.2 alternative too (Ubuntu: #30514)

Unfortunately not. Here's a sample error message I get at the moment:

joseph@sys1101:~$ sudo update-manager
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/update-manager", line 28, in ?
    import gtk
ImportError: No module named gtk

Michael, do you have any idea about that?

I'm having the same problem (and getting the same results from the commands your requested output from)

This bug has dissapeared (for me at least) in a recent update. Everything Python works fine :).

So has this been resolved for everyone? Thank you.

does anybody still has that issue with dapper?

Fixed in Dapper. Thank you.
