Python Problems(tm)

I seem to have som strange problems after doing a fresh install. I don't really know why but I am running testing so some issues are to be expected.

As the title says this is about python, or rather python applications.

Problem 1:
When trying to add OnTV to my panel it crasches. Earlier when launching it from a terminal (/usr/libexec/ontv) I got an error about the icons needing to be pixmaps or something like that. Unfortunately I can't reproduce this anymore because when I launch it from a terminal now it just hangs and ctrl+c won't even get me out of it.

When I launch it with (/usr/libexec/ontv -w) it launches in a seperate window but when trying to finish the setup I get this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/ontv/XMLTVAssistant.py", line 259, in do_prepare
    reaper = vte.reaper_get()
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'reaper_get'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/libexec/ontv", line 32, in <module>
    Main.main()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/ontv/Main.py", line 74, in main
    gtk.main()
KeyboardInterrupt

Problem 2:
I thought that I would try out cgmail as it seems like a really nice mailchecker unfortunately this didn't go as well as I would like...

When launching the application from a terminal this is what pops up:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/cgmail", line 11, in <module>
    StatusIcon()
  File "/usr/share/cgmail/statusicon.py", line 49, in __init__
    self.checker = checker.Checker()
  File "/usr/share/cgmail/checker.py", line 186, in __init__
    self.notifier = Notifier()
  File "/usr/share/cgmail/notifier.py", line 88, in __init__
    "/org/freedesktop/Notifications")
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/dbus/_dbus.py", line 412, in get_object
    follow_name_owner_changes=follow_name_owner_changes)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/dbus/proxies.py", line 232, in __init__
    _dbus_bindings.UInt32(0))
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/dbus/proxies.py", line 171, in __call__
    reply_message = self._connection.send_message_with_reply_and_block(message, timeout)
dbus.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.Notifications was not provided by any .service files

Can someone help me decipher theese things and help me figure out whats wrong?

Re: Python Problems(tm)

Same problem here for cgmail. No fresh install. Haven't looked into it yet, figured it may be a cgmail problem.

PS: I'm not running testing atm.

Thank you. That did indeed solve the problem.

One down, one to go?

Glad it worked. You should let know  the package maintainer about  that missing depend.

The first problem has something to do with this: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=320127

Some distros are working on it. Are arch?
