Bug 106274 – app-mobilephone/wammu doesn't start after emerging

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Tobias Leupold 2005-09-17 07:09:27 UTC]

I just emerged wammu and wanted to start it. It crashes and outputs the following:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/wammu", line 11, in ?
    import Wammu.App
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/Wammu/App.py", line 21, in ?
    import wx
ImportError: No module named wx

Perhaps, something is wrong with the ebuild (missing dependency?).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge wammu
2. try to start wammu
Actual Results:  
wammu crashes

Expected Results:  
wammu starts

wammu version 0.8

there is nothing wrong with wammu dependencies.

you should try to re-emerge dev-python/wxpython and dev-python/python-gammu.

[Comment 2 Tobias Leupold 2005-09-17 07:59:17 UTC]

I have re-emerged both dev-python/wxpython and dev-python/python-gammu, but the
error remains unchanged.

[Comment 3 Tobias Leupold 2005-09-17 08:02:20 UTC]

P.S.: Both packages weren't installed on my system before I emerged wammu!

what is the output of `equery uses wxpython`?

could you run pyshell successfully?

[Comment 5 Tobias Leupold 2005-09-17 11:34:02 UTC]

equery u wxpython:
 U I
 + + gtk     : Adds support for x11-libs/gtk+ (The GIMP Toolkit)
 + + gtk2    : Use gtk+-2.0.0 over gtk+-1.2 in cases where a program supports both.
 - - unicode : Adds support for Unicode
 + + opengl  : Adds support for OpenGL
 - + tiff    : Adds support for the tiff image format
 + + jpeg    : Adds JPEG image support
 + + png     : Adds support for libpng (PNG images)

pyshell says:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/pyshell", line 4, in ?
    from wx.py.PyShell import main
ImportError: No module named wx.py.PyShell

[Comment 6 Alin Năstac (RETIRED) 2005-09-17 11:46:57 UTC]

then you have problems with dev-python/wxpython, not wammu.

for the record, I have a working wxpython on my x86 machine, but all useflags
are enabled (including unicode and tiff).

[Comment 7 Alin Năstac (RETIRED) 2005-12-20 08:00:36 UTC]

hint : you should run python-updater .

[Comment 8 Tobias Leupold 2006-01-23 00:33:41 UTC]

Well, that was it :-)
