Sonata refusing to work

And finally, the last question of the night....

When I give aterm the 'sonata' command, hoping that it will open the program as it should, i get the following traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/sonata", line 27, in <module>
    from sonata import main
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/sonata/main.py", line 63, in <module>
    import dbus, dbus.service
ImportError: No module named dbus

I'm using the sonata-svn from AUR which I built earlier today that finished without, seemingly, any problems.

Any help would be fantastic.

Thanks again,
Matt

Re: Sonata refusing to work

Re: Sonata refusing to work

well..
pacman -Ss dbus | grep python

I think you have to install dbus-python
