I'm new to both python and gtk+, so hopefully I'm not missing something obvious.
I'm writing a graphic extension to mercurial [1] using pygtk 2.10.4 under winxp and python 2.5.1. When I start my extension directly from the command-line it all works fine. But when I build and install mercurial with my new extension, I get this error when mercurial loads it: "No module named ltihooks" The problem is in site-packages\gtk-2.0\gtk\__init__.py. The "ltihooks" statement at the top that attempts to trigger an exception after importing ltihooks never actually generates an exception, so the ltihooks name is never set to None. That causes an ImportError exception later when ltihooks.uninstall() is called. Two potential solutions: 1) Wrap the call to ltihooks.uinstall() with try/except. 2) After the import, make a call that triggers the exception since the plain "ltihooks" statement does not seem to be enough. I tried solution #1 and it worked, but I don't fully grok the situation. For example, why doesn't the gtk\__init__.py run when I start my extension directly from the command-line? Also why can't ltihooks be located... I see it in the pygtk sources? -Brad [1] http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/ _______________________________________________ pygtk mailing list [email protected] http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk Read the PyGTK FAQ: http://www.async.com.br/faq/pygtk/
