pacman failed to install bittornado

I tried to install bittornado using pacman and got this msg:

[root@myhost sridhar]# pacman -S bittornado
:: bittornado-0.3.17-2: is up to date.  Upgrade anyway? [Y/n] y

Targets: bittornado-0.3.17-2

Total Package Size:   0.3 MB

Proceed with upgrade? [Y/n] y

checking package integrity... done.
loading package data... done.
checking for file conflicts... done.
upgrading bittornado... done.

If you want to use the graphical client, you need
to install 'wxpython' and 'wxgtk'

[root@myhost sridhar]# which bittornado
which: no bittornado in (/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/opt/bin:/opt/kde/bin:/opt/mozilla/bin:/opt/qt/bin)

How to istall it with GUI front end?
I have already installed wxpython and wxgtk.

It's .py alright, but the actual filename depends on the operation you want to execute, e.g. for a normal torrent download with gui, it's btdownloadgui.py.

Re: pacman failed to install bittornado

I am guessing that you get your packages from testing, since I do and I had similar problems with picard, which also uses wxwidgets and wxpython

the versions of wxgtk and wxpython in repositories is outdated, and gets installed in the python-2.4 folder instead of the python-2.5 folder.
