[pygtk] problem with pygtk 0.6.11, python 2.3a2, with redhat 7.3: zip file not found

[Jeff]

greetings,

I've stumbled upon a problem, and I'm not sure if it's a problem with
python, or with pygtk. My system is a much upgraded redhat 7.3 machine, so I
don't have gtk2 or gnome2. I'm running python 2.3a2.

When I run 'xdisplay.py' (attached), I get a traceback:

[~/projects/sharedmailbox] [2:51pm] [eros] % ./xdisplay.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./xdisplay.py", line 7, in ?
    from twisted.internet import gtkreactor; gtkreactor.install()
  File
"/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/twisted/internet/gtkreactor.py",
line 39, in ?
    pygtk.require('1.2')
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/pygtk.py", line 47, in
require
    versions = _get_available_versions()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/pygtk.py", line 34, in
_get_available_versions
    for filename in os.listdir(dir):
OSError: [Errno 20] Not a directory: '/usr/local/lib/python23.zip'

The error is "Not a directory" instead of "File not found" because I
attempted to create a python23.zip file using the zip tool, but to no avail.

'sys.path' is defined as:
>>> import sys; print sys.path
['', '/usr/local/lib/python23.zip', '/usr/local/lib/python2.3',
'/usr/local/lib/python2.3/plat-linux2', '/usr/local/lib/python2.3/lib-tk',
'/usr/local/lib/python2.3/lib-dynload',
'/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages',
'/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/gtk-1.2']

Notice '/usr/local/lib/python23.zip' as the first real entry.

Is this a problem with python, or with pygtk?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Jeff MacDonald
