python2 trouble after update

Hi since one of the last updates i have major problems with my python2 installation.

some of them I could fix with

/usr/bin/pip2 install PACKAGENAME

but some won't do, for example:

# /usr/bin/pip2 install pygtk

Downloading/unpacking pygtk
  Downloading pygtk-2.24.0.tar.bz2 (2.4MB): 2.4MB downloaded
  Running setup.py (path:/tmp/pip_build_root/pygtk/setup.py) egg_info for package pygtk
    ********************************************************************
    * Building PyGTK using distutils is only supported on windows. *
    * To build PyGTK in a supported way, read the INSTALL file.    *
    ********************************************************************
    Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
    ********************************************************************

Cleaning up...
Command python setup.py egg_info failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip_build_root/pygtk
Storing debug log for failure in /root/.pip/pip.log

How can I fix my python installation?

Re: python2 trouble after update

I've been able to avoid such problems by installing as much as possible via pacman (either the official packages or via the AUR).
good luck !
