3.

Actual Results:

I've found a work-around but I don0t understand what really make the difference:

Normally  when I issue the command python -c "import sys ;  print sys.path ; import gtk;import gtk.glade"
 
I get
['', '/usr/lib64/python26.zip', '/usr/lib64/python2.6', '/usr/lib64/python2.6/plat-linux2', '/usr/lib64/python2.6/lib-tk', '/usr/lib64/python2.6/lib-old', '/usr/lib64/python2.6/lib-dynload', '/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages', '/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/Numeric', '/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/PIL', '/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/gtk-2.0', '/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/gst-0.10', '/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/sancho-0', '/usr/lib64/portage/pym']
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named glade

If I set manually PYTHONPATH:
export PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/gtk-2.0
python -c "import sys ;  print sys.path ; import gtk;import gtk.glade"

['', '/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/gtk-2.0', '/usr/lib64/python26.zip', '/usr/lib64/python2.6', '/usr/lib64/python2.6/plat-linux2', '/usr/lib64/python2.6/lib-tk', '/usr/lib64/python2.6/lib-old', '/usr/lib64/python2.6/lib-dynload', '/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages', '/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/Numeric', '/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/PIL', '/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/gst-0.10', '/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/sancho-0', '/usr/lib64/portage/pym']

It runs with problem...and therefore virt-manager too.

Interesting how rearranging the path allows the module to load... what version of pygtk do you have installed?

Reopen this bug when you provide the requested information.

Post the output of:

find /usr/lib64/python2.6 -name "pygtk.pth*"
/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/pygtk.pth-2.0

Where do you think is the problem?

can you confirm that this happens with 0.8.4?
