PyGTK and Python 2.6
Hello all. I'm the author of Epidermis, a theme manager for GNOME. More details at: http://epidermis.tuxfamily.org Until now, I've only ever tested and released Epidermis for Ubuntu, however, I'm interested making Epidermis support as many Linux distributions as possible, and I thought Debian would be a good start. Epidermis is programmed in Python 2.6. I was surprised to find that Python 2.6 is not included in Debian unstable, but only in the experimental repositories. Unfortunately, Epidermis still doesn't work on Debian. It seems python-gtk2 and other essential packages for Epidermis have not been upgraded to Python 2.6 in any of Debian's repositories. Am I missing something? Can I get import gtk to work under Python 2.6 on Debian? Should I try to port Epidermis back to Python 2.5 or should I wait for Python 2.6 to be fully supported in Debian experimental or unstable? I'm not looking for a definitive answer, (unless there is one!), just advice. Thank you. David D Lowe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-python-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

I'm not looking for a definitive answer, (unless there is one!), just advice. Thank you. Your analysis is totally correct. Should you want to use python-gtk2 based programs with Python 2.6, you would have to successively build all of it's reverse dependencies with Python 2.6, and then build python-gtk2 and use these custom built packages for your program. To make it more clear, $ apt-cache depends python-gtk2 [snipped output] Depends: python-cairo Depends: python-gobject Depends: python-numpy So, you would at least need to rebuild the above packages with Python 2.6, and then use these custom built package to allow Epidermis to work. If porting Epidermis to Python 2.5 would be an easier task, it would obviate the need to rebuild the above packages. Please do ask if you have further questions; I'll do my best to help.
