Hi all,
Basically, I'm trying to run and hack a python script that says things
like
"from gnome import *"
Now, there are 2 packages in portage, gnome-python and pygtk. They
seem to provide the same stuff in terms of the files they install:
what's the difference between these 2 packages. However, the big problem
is that even with either (or both) installed the said python script
doesn't work; I get this error:
from gnome import *
ImportError: No module named gnome
So,
1. Are these two packages, gnome-python and pygtk, really different?
2. What can I emerge (or what do I need to make an ebuild for) so that
a python script can do an "import gnome"?
Thanks,
Derek Greentree

And while you're at it. What do you need in order to get either of these
to install? I haven't gotten either one to compile yet.

Hi,
i ran into this odd couple as well. It seems gnome-python provides
everything pygtk provides (altough i didn't have a good look), but since
there might be apps that use only pygtk stuff and don't need all the
dependencies that come with gnome-python (all sorts of gnome stuff) it
is logical to provide them both (altough portage wasn't mean for this
sort of situations afaik).
Now, the only problems i ran into was with the Gnome2 pygtk ebuild
(1.99), with the old one (0.6.8) everything should be fine. The 1.99
version overwrites part of the old gnome-python package resulting in
some weird problems. You might try uninstalling it all and then just
installing gnome-python and maybe (if needed after all) the gnome1 pygtk
build (0.6.8).
