[gentoo-user] python-2.6.2 site-packages path problem

[gentoo-user] python-2.6.2 site-packages path problem

[Helmut Jarausch]

Hi,

with Python 2.6.2 I have (even re-)installed dev-python/pygtk.
And indeed, there is a directory
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/gtk-2.0

But, still,
import gtk
fails. Looking closer,
there is NO pygtk.pth-2.0 pygtk.py-2.0 file
in /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages
as it is on a working python-2.6.1 installation.

What might cause that problem?

Many thanks for a hint,

There is a bug about this, search bugs.gentoo.org for your error/the
problem where you get the error. You have to reemerge some packages,
pygobject and maybe more.

Sorry, but I couldn't find something on bugs.gentoo.org
I searched for python-2.6 and pygtk but couldn't find anything.
Many thanks for a pointer,
Helmut.

I also came across the same problem some days back.

python-updater -o 2.5 -v

This command did the re-installation's of some python related
packages.

Hope this help's
