When I try to use straw (rss reader written in pygtk) I get "ImportError: could not import bonobo.ui", then when I try to merge bonobo-python I get this: checking if gcc supports -c -o file.o... yes checking if gcc supports -c -o file.lo... yes checking if gcc supports -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions... yes checking whether the linker (/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld) supports shared libraries... yes checking how to hardcode library paths into programs... immediate checking whether stripping libraries is possible... yes checking dynamic linker characteristics...

I then tried to import the same thing that straw does and here's the output: In [1]: import gnome.ui Fatal Python error: could not import _gtk But I can do a "import gtk" without problems and it says that _gtk is non-existant.

did you install python-2.3.2-r2 recently ? (emerge -s "^python$") at the end of its merge, it warns you to launch a script that would recompile a bunch of packages using python against the new 2.3 portage still uses 2.2, so do not uninstall 2.2 launch the following script now to recompile those : (straw is in the list) /usr/portage/dev-lang/python/files/python-updater please report if it fixed the problem ++
No, I installed python a lot of time ago and I ran python-updater. straw worked correctly for a good month before this problem...
what does "etcat files pygtk" say? are they installed in /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages?
Yes, they are all installed in the right path. /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/
And in case you were asking I did env-update and ldconfig without any success... It seems that or straw is not using the libraries in the right way or the libraries have some conflicts between them... I think that I always ran straw without bonobo-python installed but since that time it required me to install it, Ihad allthese problems. I did not have written this before since I didn't noticed it, but now that I'm thinking... this should help a bit, i hope.
you have two different problems here. bonobo-python isn't needed by straw at all, and that is failing for you. bonobo-python needs pygtk-0.6* rather than pygtk2. the bonobo.ui is part of gnome-python. usually this means there is some seperate error has occured when you import gtk. can you give me the full output of: python -c "import gtk"
I already said that importing gtk does give me no errors at all, so there is absolutely no output. Anyway here is the "full" output of the verbose mode: python -v -c "import gtk" Python 2.3.2 (#1, Dec 5 2003, 22:32:37) [GCC 3.3.2 20031022 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.2-r3, propolice)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. import gtk # directory /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk # /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.pyc matches /usr/lib/pyt hon2.3/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py import gtk # precompiled from /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__ini t__.pyc dlopen("/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gobject.so", 2); import gobject # dynamically loaded from /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/gtk-2. 0/gobject.so # /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/keysyms.pyc matches /usr/lib/pyth on2.3/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/keysyms.py import gtk.keysyms # precompiled from /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/gtk-2.0/g tk/keysyms.pyc dlopen("/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/_gtk.so", 2); # /usr/lib/python2.3/encodings/utf_8.pyc matches /usr/lib/python2.3/encodings/ut f_8.py import encodings.utf_8 # precompiled from /usr/lib/python2.3/encodings/utf_8.pyc dlopen("/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/gtk-2.0/pango.so", 2); import pango # dynamically loaded from /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/gtk-2.0/ pango.so dlopen("/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/gtk-2.0/atk.so", 2); import atk # dynamically loaded from /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/gtk-2.0/at k.so dlopen("/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/Numeric/_numpy.so", 2); import _numpy # dynamically loaded from /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/Numeric /_numpy.so import gtk._gtk # dynamically loaded from /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/gtk-2 .0/gtk/_gtk.so
Ok, now I got it to work again. I think that all the *.pyc were the responsible for this mess... I unmerged everything, removed all the remaining .pyc and then reemerged everything and now it works again. Thx for all your help guys. You've been very helpful :)
actually, it wasn't your fault. there was a problem with bonobo-python because it was errorneously detecting the pygtk-2 modules rather than the pygtk-0.6 ones. i've fixed that, however, ive found that nothing in portage depends on bonobo-python anymore.
