Ubuntu
pygtk package

ImportError: No module named pygtk

Asked by Kamal Broomes

I've been trying to get this program OOF2 to run but I get this error when I do.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/oof2", line 38, in <module>
    oof.run()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/oof2/ooflib/common/oof.py", line 641, in run
    front_end(no_interp) # all non-parallel menu items are executed here.
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/oof2/ooflib/common/oof.py", line 357, in front_end
    import pygtk
ImportError: No module named pygtk

There is something wrong with my pygtk?? It's installed and it's the most recent version according to Synaptic Package Manager.
I'm not sure what the problem is here and don't see any obvious errors.

When I try to import it in python I get the same message.

I'm a complete newbie when it comes to Ubuntu so I need a lot of help...

Thanks in advance.

When entering this command in the terminal: dpkg -S oof2; lsb_release -a; uname -a

Hi Kamal,

you can't install oof2, because you don't have installed Python libraties called pygtk. You can solve this issue with running following this steps explained in this thread: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/importerror-no-module-named-pygtk-600029/

This should solve your issue.

If this helps you solve your question, please mark thread as solved.

Miha

I did what was posted here exactly if anyone was wondering.

"Looks like your install of the PyGTK module has gone wrong, To prove this run python from CLI (just type python into your console) and at the python prompt type "import pygtk". You should get the import error again showing that pygtk is not setup right.

If I were you I would download pygobject, pycairo and pygtk from Slackbuilds.org and download the sources.

First build and install pygobject, then pycairo then pygtk. Pygtk should now be setup and installed.

Try your "python - import pygtk" procedure again to make sure pygtk is installed. Then run your Devede install again.

Good Luck"
