bittorrent not working since last 'pacman -Su'

When I try to run bittorrent as of today I'm getting the error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/bittorrent", line 183, in <module>
from BitTorrent.GUI_wx.DownloadManager import MainLoop
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/BitTorrent/GUI_wx/__init__.py", line 29, in <module>
import wx
ImportError: No module named wx

I wonder if something was missed in the new packages? I've reimported bittorrent, python, wxpython, wxgtk, wxgtk-gtk1, but hasn't helped.

Thanks.

Could be a problem with the upgrade to Python 2.5, most distros do not upgrade this at the moment because of some promlems with certain applications.

http://www.archlinux.org/news/299/

FreeBSD e.g. did a downgrade to 2.4.4. But maybe it's a problem with syncing the mirror-servers.

wxpython is a optional dependency of the package. You need to install it if you want to use the GUI frontend "bittorrent".

Shouldn't be the problem I think.

If you run python from the terminal and do "import wx" what do you get? I am guessing it doesn't work but just in case.

If it does work you might want to switch to only python 2.4 so everything works nicely if you have to use that instead of another client. (I think bittorent in repos is 2.4 dependent)
But I don't know anything.

Hi, if I run python, and then import wx, it does find the module. Must be something wrong with the bittorrent script.

It's a wxgtk 2.8 issue. The file /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/BitTorrent/GUI_wx/__init__.py checks for version 2.6. You could try to change the references to 2.6 to 2.8 to see if it'll work or submit a bug report. I had to do that for another package (picard).

Thanks snowman, that got me further along. Now when I run bittorrent I get:

/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/BitTorrent/GUI_wx/__init__.py:31: DeprecationWarning: The wxPython compatibility package is no longer automatically generated or activly maintained. Please switch to the wx package as soon as possible.

Try with this packages I made:

wxGTk-compat (2.6) - provides "gtk-ansi" "gtk2-ansi" "gtk2-unicode(default)" wxGtk versions:
Conflicts with official "wxgtk-gtk1"

http://200.58.112.220/~dari/wxgtk-compa … pkg.tar.gz

wxPython-compat (2.6) uses "gtk2-unicode" wxGtk:

http://200.58.112.220/~dari/wxpython-co … pkg.tar.gz

I test bittorrent with them. You can use this pkgs with installed official wxgtk2.8 and wxpython2.8 packages. (no conflicts)

They are also in AUR:

http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?d … 1&ID=10130
