Python module pygtk is broken.

Please reproduce your error on a second machine before posting, and check the error by running without saved changes or extra modules (See FAQ No. 13, "How to report a bug"). For unstable Porteus versions (alpha, beta, rc) please use the relevant thread in our "Development" section.

Python module pygtk is broken.

Post#1 by cpoakes » 14 Sep 2013, 10:30

The Porteus v2.1 python package pygtk (pygtk-2.24.0-i486-1.xzm) is not useable. The basic python interpreter is working: interpreter starts, will import other modules (Xlib), and other python programs work. However, a program trying to import pygtk fails "No module named pygtk".

For validation, starting the interpreter for a quick import check also fails:

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~$ python
Python 2.7.3 (default, Jul  3 2012, 21:16:07) 
[GCC 4.7.1] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import pygtk
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named pygtk
>>> 
This was verified on a base only, no magic, no rootcopy, no changes lxde system. The following were activated manually:

db44-4.4.20-i486-3.xzm
python-2.7.3-i486-2.xzm
tcl-8.5.11-i486-1.xzm
tk-8.5.11-i486-1.xzm


The python interpreter was verified to work and then pygtk was manually activated:

pygtk-2.24.0-i486-1.xzm

Error replicated.

Alternatively, execute the demo /usr/bin/pygtk-demo installed with the package:

Code: Select all

guest@porteus: bin $ /usr/bin/pygtk-demo
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/pygtk-demo", line 7, in <module>
    execfile(os.path.join(pygtklibdir, "pygtk-demo.py"))
  File "/usr/lib/pygtk/2.0/pygtk-demo.py", line 13, in <module>
    import pygtk
ImportError: No module named pygtk

Try this one, it works for me!

Good luck!

That one works. As Porteus is my first foray into the world of slackware (I am a mostly a Debianista), I was concerned this was "operator error". I note the version number on your package is in sync with the python version number. But it seems many py-packages don't sync up their version numbers, so I don't know what to think of the one in the repo.

Gracias por ayudarme.

@wread - Thanks for the workaround. The bug still exists in the Porteus repository, so I do not consider it solved. Maybe we have different expectations, but I expect two things: 1) Porteus developers to maintain and fix everything that is contained in the Porteus repos, and 2) a bug report remains open until the bug is corrected in the repos or specifically resolved as "won't fix".

After further experimentation, I note the upstream version pygtk-2.24.0-i486-1.txz in the Slackware repository shares the same bug. However, the version used in 07-printing.xzm does not! Two possible solutions to this bug:
  1. Remove pygtk-2.24.0-i486-1.xzm from the Porteus repos and rely solely on 07-printing.xzm to supply pygtk, OR
  2. Create a new pygtk module from the build scripts used to create 07-printing.xzm or wread's version.
Both seem reasonable, and the first is simple to implement.

Wread can you pass me your build script so I can compare the two and see what is going on. I'd like to keep the repository using the current slackware-14.0 version and removing the package is not an option as it would most certainly break some dependency resolution for other packages.

Hi Jay!
It is the current Slackware 14 as posted here http://forum.porteus.org/viewtopic.php? ... 593#p17866
Extract it and see if I put all the necessary stuff in var/log to be Slackware-compliant...

Regards!

Slackware 14.0 stable and slackware current both use: v2.24 which I have in the repo already.

http://ftp.slackware-brasil.com.br/slac ... e/l/pygtk/

I will do some testing with updating the pygtk module and see how much gets borked.
