Bug 270785 – media-video/whaawmp runtime failure after upgrading to python 2.6

• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description J M W 2009-05-22 00:58:15 UTC]

After emerging whaawmp I get this error attempting to run the program:

whaawmp&
[2] 18796
rogue@ProximaCentauri ~ $ Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/whaawmp/whaawmp.py", line 30, in <module>
    import gobject
ImportError: No module named gobject

[2]+  Exit 1                  whaawmp

I'm not sure what would be to blame for this failure, whether it be the
whaawmp ebuild or the python 2.6 ebuild, but I do know that after upgrading
to the latest ~x86 gentoolkit my python was upgraded to 2.6, without so much
as an ewarn about modules. Something needs to handle the upgrade of python
modules, whether it be the python ebuild or portage itself or individual
ebuilds for programs that rely on those modules. Please fix this.

Probably INVALID.
Did you use python-updater ?

Please run

  python-updater

and try again. In case it still fails, reopen this bug.
