When I start pitivi I immediately get an error: PyGTK couldn't be found ! I ran python manually and tried stepping through the offending code inside the try block: def _init_gobject_gtk_gst(): try: import pygtk pygtk.require("2.0") import gtk import gobject gobject.threads_init() except ImportError: raise SystemExit("PyGTK couldn't be found !") but I don't get any errors. The other strange thing is that pitivi works on my laptop (which has a very similar setup: same python, same pygtk). emerge --info: Portage 2.1_rc1-r2 (default-linux/x86/2005.0, gcc-4.1.0, glibc-2.4-r2, 2.6.16.9 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.16.9 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) Processor Gentoo Base System version 1.12.0_pre19 distcc 2.18.3 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [enabled] dev-lang/python: 2.4.3-r1 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: [Not Present] dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r2 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r5 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=i686 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/globus-2.4/etc /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/eselect/compiler /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=i686 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig collision-protection distcc distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict userpriv usersandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.mirrors.easynews.com/linux/gentoo/ http://gentoo.chem.wisc.edu/gentoo/ ftp://gentoo.mirrors.tds.net/gentoo ftp://194.117.143.71/mirrors/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude='/distfiles' --exclude='/local' --exclude='/packages'" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage /usr/local/ag-portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 3dnow X Xaw3d a52 aac aalib acpi alsa apache2 apm arts audiofile avahi avi berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 cairo cdr cjk cli crypt cups curl dbus dga dri dts dv dvb dvd dvdr eds emacs emboss encode esd exif expat f77 faad fbcon ffmpeg fftw flac fortran gcj gd gdbm gif gimpprint ginac gmp gnome gnustep gnutls gphoto2 gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 gtkhtml hal idn imagemagick imlib isdnlog jack java jpeg lcms leim libcaca libg++ libwww lirc live mad matroska mikmod mmx mng mono motif mozilla mp3 mpeg mysql nas ncurses nls nptl offensive ogg oggvorbis openal opengl oss pam pcre pdf pdflib perl plotutils png ppds pppd python qhull qt quicktime radeon readline reflection rtc samba scanner sdk sdl session slang speex spell spl sqlite sse ssl svg tcltk tcpd tetex theora threads tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode usb v4l v4l2 vcd vorbis wmf wxwindows xinerama xml xml2 xmms xorg xosd xprint xv xvid zlib elibc_glibc input_devices_evdev input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse kernel_linux userland_GNU video_cards_i810 video_cards_radeon video_cards_mach64 video_cards_vesa video_cards_vga video_cards_fbdev video_cards_v4l" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS

Another user has contacted me who also has this problem. Any suggestions for how to debug it?
I've filed bug #142118 where something similar is happening with istanbul. It might be a dup of this bug.
Discouvered something new: if I copy /usr/bin/pitivi to my user's home dir and run that copy instead than pitivi works! Seems like some kind of path/env problem... Workaround: $ cd ~ $ cp /usr/bin/pitivi ./pitivi $ ./pitivi On further inspection, copying /usr/bin/pitivi to /usr/local/bin/mypitivi also seems to fix it... Also, istanbul (bug 142118) also works when copied to /usr/local/bin I think this confirms the dup.
*** Bug 142118 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I have this sneaking suspicion that this bug has something to do with the multitude of useless symlinks that portage (i think) created on my system sometime in 2005 (symlinks of the form /usr/lib/foo/foo-> //usr/lib/foo). I've made an attempt and removing them all but this bug persists: I will try rebuilding python and pygtk now that I've cleaned up most (all?) of those weird symlinks.
Still doesn't work with rebuilt python, pygtk, pitvi and istanbul. More info: a symlink from /usr/local/bin/mypitivi to /usr/bin/piviti doesn't work but copying or making a hard link does work. Test case: #!/usr/bin/env python import pygtk pygtk.require("2.0") import gtk When run from /usr/local/bin, this script is successful but when run from /usr/bin it results in: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/testpy2", line 4, in ? import gtk ImportError: No module named gtk Maybe that will help someone suggest whats wrong here?
Is this still an issue with 0.10.1??
Closing for now, please re-open if it still occurs.
Reopening, changing summary... this bug probably has nothing to do with pitivi. As I mentioned in comment #6, this simple test case fails when placed in /usr/bin but works elsewhere: #!/usr/bin/env python import pygtk pygtk.require("2.0") import gtk Maybe you can reassign this to the python folks? (bugzilla won't let me)
Sorry, forgot to mention that of course I did test with the new pitivi but still fails. Also I should point out I'm in a pretty good situation to help debug this as I have two very similar systems but only one suffers from this bug.
As this seems to be a general pygtk-problem, re-assigning to the corresponding herd.
Works for me. You're the only person who is reportedly seeing this bug so I suspect it is a local problem. Please list all the versions of pygtk you have installed and your emerge info as well.
I'm absoluetly sure its a local problem: as I mentioned above, it doesn't manifest itself on my laptop which has a similar setup. I would appreciate any suggests for how to debug it! At least one other person is affected, zhangf1979[at]hotmail.com (on the CC list) contacted me offlist (offbug?) back when we thought this was a PiTiVi problem. # equery list pygtk [ Searching for package 'pygtk' in all categories among: ] * installed packages [I--] [ ] dev-python/pygtk-2.8.6 (2) # emerge --info Portage 2.1.1_pre5-r1 (default-linux/x86/2006.0, gcc-4.1.1/vanilla, glibc-2.4-r3, 2.6.17.8 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.17.8 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) Processor Gentoo Base System version 1.12.4 Last Sync: Thu, 17 Aug 2006 22:30:01 +0000 distcc 2.18.3 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [enabled] app-admin/eselect-compiler: 2.0.0_rc2-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.4.3-r1 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: [Not Present] dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.60 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.17 sys-devel/gcc-config: 2.0.0_rc1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.17 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=i686 -O2 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/lib/globus-2.4/etc /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/eselect/compiler /etc/gconf /etc/java-config/vms/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c" CXXFLAGS="-march=i686 -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig collision-protection distcc distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict userpriv usersandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.mirrors.easynews.com/linux/gentoo/ http://gentoo.chem.wisc.edu/gentoo/ ftp://gentoo.mirrors.tds.net/gentoo ftp://194.117.143.71/mirrors/gentoo" LINGUAS="" MAKEOPTS="-j1" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude='/distfiles' --exclude='/local' --exclude='/packages'" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage /usr/local/ag-portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 3dnow X Xaw3d a52 aac aalib acpi alsa apache2 apm arts audiofile avahi avi berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 cairo cdr cjk cli crypt cups curl dbus dga dlloader dri dts dv dvb dvd dvdr eds elibc_glibc emacs emboss encode esd exif expat f77 faad fbcon ffmpeg fftw flac fortran gcj gd gdbm gif gimpprint ginac glut gmp gnome gnustep gnutls gphoto2 gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 gtkhtml hal idn imagemagick imlib input_devices_evdev input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse isdnlog jack java jpeg kernel_linux lcms leim libcaca libg++ libwww lirc lirc_devices_realmagic live mad matroska mikmod mmx mng mono motif mozilla mp3 mpeg mysql nas ncurses nls nptl offensive ogg openal opengl oss pam pcre pdf pdflib perl plotutils png ppds pppd python qhull qt3 quicktime radeon readline reflection rtc samba scanner sdk sdl session slang speex spell spl sqlite sse ssl svg tcl tcltk tcpd tetex theora threads tiff tk truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev unicode usb userland_GNU v4l v4l2 vcd video_cards_fbdev video_cards_i810 video_cards_mach64 video_cards_radeon video_cards_v4l video_cards_vesa video_cards_vga vorbis wmf wxwindows xinerama xml xmms xorg xosd xprint xv xvid zlib" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
ok, are there any *.py files in /usr/bin? another thing that will help is try setting PYTHONVERBOSE=1 in your environment when you try to run it from /usr/bin: eg: PYTHONVERBOSE=1 /usr/bin/test.py and tell us what you see

the pygtk.py script is failing to detect the version of gtk that you have or is finding it in a place that it doesn't expect. it seems to imply that there might be something called /usr/bin/gtk-2.0/ like that. can you check if there is something that returns if : ls -l /usr/bin/gtk-[0-9].[0-9]

I cleaned those out and now pitivi (and my simple test case) work fine. Thanks so much!
