If another forum is more appropriate for my question, please point me to
it.
A python application I'd like to us requires pygtk. Version 2.8.6 of that
package is installed in /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages, but trying to
build and install that application reports that pygtk is not installed.
Indeed, from the python interpreter, attempts to 'import pygtk' fail. I'm
stymied due to my inexperience with python.
In /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pygtk/ there are:
2.0/ gtk-2.0/ pygtk.pth pygtk.py pygtk.pyc pygtk.pyo
I want to learn how to fix python's inability to locate this module for
import.
TIA,
Rich

On my system gtk-2.0 and pygtk.* are in site-pacakges, not site-packages/pygtk. So perhaps whatever installed them on your system put them in the wrong place. One way to work around this would be to add /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pygtk to your PYTHONPATH environment variable.

Well, Robin. It was the incorrect location that caused the problem. I had
already modified PYTHONPATH to no effect. But, moving everything in the
pygtk/ directory up one level fixed the problem.

Thanks,
