Gwibber and python3 : no way to make them work together.

jolinfire · 2010-10-04 18:07:09

After I upgraded my archlinux with python3, gwibber stopped working :

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/gwibber", line 10, in <module>
import sys, gtk, optparse, dbus, wnck, time
ImportError: No module named gtk

And of course, pygtk is installed.

I tried to rebuild it and get this :

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "setup.py", line 6, in <module>
from DistUtilsExtra.command import *
ImportError: No module named DistUtilsExtra.command

Any idea ?

i said that in the bug report too.

setup.py from the gwibber is using python binary and needs to be modified.

#!/usr/bin/env python

needs to be

#!/usr/bin/env python2

It used to work, but a change made in pygtk breaks it again :

Cannot run it anymore with last pygtk update on testing :

[fred@fredo-arch gwibber]$ Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/gwibber", line 10, in <module>
import sys, gtk, optparse, dbus, wnck, time
RuntimeError: could not find _PyGtk_API object

And here is the patch which breaks - again - gwibber :

http://repos.archlinux.org/wsvn/package … on27.patch

And you're the creator of the patch...

The only workaround I found : using choqok

I'm kinda fed up with breakage, to be clear. I have to say good bye to soundconverter and pyrenamer.

You are using [testing]. Deal with it...

jolinfire · 2010-10-07 12:19:13

Well testing doesn't mean - to me - exploding every day.

By the way, you can add to broken list all python Rhythmbox plugin.

And if need moral lessons, I don't need you to have them.

Yes, I know, I am a PITA user.

@jolinfire i don't believe you

There is a link to the bug tracker at the top of the site. Bugs do not exist until they get reported there...

I know. But I think they are known, and I don't want to spent time reporting them. As I will leave Archlinux tonight, I don't really care about reporting bugs for a distribution I liked a lot. Others users will do it better me than I can do.
