• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description t35t0r 2005-03-31 09:19:45 UTC]

/home/user> btdownloadgui.py
wxPython is either not installed or has not been installed properly.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/btdownloadgui.py", line 24, in ?
    sys.exit(1)
NameError: name 'sys' is not defined

so i emerge -av wxpython
[ebuild   R   ] dev-python/wxpython-2.4.2.4  +gtk2 +jpeg +opengl +png +tiff -unicode 0 kB

then i emerge -av bittornado
[ebuild   R   ] net-p2p/bittornado-0.3.8  +X 0 kB

then try running btdownloadgui.py again and I get the same error. The other bittornado scripts like btdownloadcurses.py runs normally.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. run btdownloadgui.py ..crash
2. emerge wxpython (again)
3. emerge bittornado (again)
4. run btdownloadgui.py ..same crash

Actual Results:  
btdownloadgui.py crashed

Expected Results:  
It should display a nice bittorent gui with option to open a torrent file.

I have the same problem.

If you've recently upgraded to gtk+-2.6.x then try re-emerging wxGTK (and possibly wxpython after that)... I had the same problem and that solved it.

I didn't have wxGTK installed.  Installing it (as suggested by  Alexandru Toma) did fix this problem.

Should wxGTK be added as a dependancy?
