[SOLVED]Python learning and gtk+ try

Hi,
I wanna enjoy with python gtk+ toolkit.
I try run this code:

#!/usr/bin/python
from gi.repository import Gtk
Gtk.init(None)
Hello=Gtk.MessageDialog(None, Gtk.DialogFlags.MODAL, Gtk.MessageType.INFO, Gtk.ButtonsType.CLOSE, "Hello world!")
Hello.format_secondary_text("This is an example dialog.")
Hello.run()

from wiki and I get errors:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./gtk1.py", line 2, in <module>
    from gi.repository import Gtk
  File "/usr/lib/python3.2/site-packages/gi/repository/__init__.py", line 25, in <module>
    from ..importer import DynamicImporter
  File "/usr/lib/python3.2/site-packages/gi/importer.py", line 24, in <module>
    import logging
  File "/usr/lib/python3.2/logging/__init__.py", line 27, in <module>
    from string import Template
ImportError: cannot import name Template

I'm little n00b in python, and I need help If it's important I am using geany.

anyway this code in c++ works pretty good.

Re: [SOLVED]Python learning and gtk+ try

I'm a lot n00b in python.  That said, my suggestion would be to try the command that failed (from string import Template) directly in the python interpreter.  If you get the error there, relaunch the interpreter with extra verbosity and run the command again; maybe it will help you figure out what's wrong.

I'm surprised because it working in python interpreter. I don't know why not working in any IDE (geany and eric).

Re: [SOLVED]Python learning and gtk+ try

@xorgx3: Is there a file named "string.py" in the current directory? If yes, remove it along with "string.pyc" and try again. Otherwise run the script again with "python -v" as suggested by alphaniner.

Re: [SOLVED]Python learning and gtk+ try

To explain lunar's solution:

If you have a python file named string (string.py or string.pyc) in your current directory, python will try to import from that file rather than its proper libraries.
