[SOLVED]Could not create a python script engine

Soumyadeep · 2010-02-13 09:24:42

I downloaded some widgets for plasma(kde 4.4) which is based on python, but when running them it shows "Could not create a python script engine" in the widget window.
I have pyqt and pyqt3 both installed. What am I missing here?

What widgets did you download. I need more info

I installed complex plotter, magic folder, pidgin status and almost every widget that i install from the plasma-workspace addons installer is python based and doesnt start.

Is plasma-scriptengine-python installed?

cesura · 2010-02-14 06:41:25

plasma-scriptengine-python is in the package kdebase-workspace

Soumyadeep · 2010-02-14 07:27:33

I have kdebase-workspace fully installed, I have to check if plasma-scriptengine-python is installed or not when I get back home.

Soumyadeep · 2010-02-14 08:40:47

 sudo pacman -S plasma-scriptengine-python
plasma-scriptengine-python package not found, searching for group...
error: 'plasma-scriptengine-python': not found in sync db

is it any package? or do i have to install something else?

It should come with kdebase-workspace.
http://packages.debian.org/testing/kde/ … ine-python

Can you do this:

whereis plasma-scriptengine-python

If that doesn't work, can you try and find where kdebase-workspace is installed and see if it is in there

Hi,

I have a similar problem. whereis states that it is installed, but I cannot get Dropbox to work. I get an error message similar to the one described above.

Cheers,

Scott

Soumyadeep · 2010-02-15 11:13:35

installing kdebindings-python fixed it.

ScottArch · 2010-02-15 11:59:15

Good man! Will give that a go when I get back home from work.

I got the same exact problem. I installed kdebindings-python and it didnt work.
Installing kdebindings-python-common and kdebindngs-python2 solved the problem for me.
So if anyone struggles with it again, this will help.
