I emerge meld, but upon trying to run it python throws an ImportError on bonobo.ui. I tried emerging bonobo-python but it did not help. "locate bonobo.ui" on my system returns zero results.

Please disregard the subject of this bug, I wrote it before I tried emergeing bonobo-python and forgot to change it. emerge bonobo-python did not fix the problem so it obviously isn't that dependency problem. Subject should be: "meld throws ImportError on bonobo.ui at start"

bonobo-python is an unrelated package did you upgrade your python version to 2.3 lately ? Did you do a revdep rebuild as noted in the post install notes ?
I never had Python 2.3 installed because I only installed python using emerge. Which post install notes is revdep-rebuild mentioned in? Python 2.3's? Should I execute a revdep-rebuild now?
if you didn't have it you shouldn't be worried about that. I remember someone mentioning they had to rebuild ORBit2 to get it to work, you could give that a try. Also i assume you tried rebuild gnome-python itself ? Since the file is there it seems, i have no idea why it would fail to load : path problems, is the file really there (locate may be wrong), etc ?
I emerges gnome-python and it fixed the problem, but I'm pretty sure there is a bug here. I have directories named gtk-1.2 and gtk-2.0 in /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages - how does Python know which one to import from when a program does a "import gnome.ui"? Looking at my emerge log, when I emerged meld it also emerged gnome-python 2.0, then, when I later emerged bonono-python it also installed gnome-python 1.2.
hmm the loading of the correct version is actually done by a setting in the script, so that is no problem. bonobo-python is not needed here, it is meant for bonobo-1, not 2. bonobo-2 is covered by gnome-python-2 . You can remove gnome-python-1.x & bonobo-python most likely. Check out the documentation on SLOTs in ebuilds : different versions parallel installable. Since you can't reproduce it (recompile fixed it), i'm gonna close this INVALID.
