    Pygtk but no gtk?

    I am trying to build an app that requires pygtk so I installed the
    latter. The app does the following:
    import pygtk
    ....
    import gtk

    This crashes with
    ImportError: No module named gtk.

    I dont know where to get this gtk module from. I assumed pygtk would be
    it coz the app doesnt mention any dependency on gtk, also googling
    didnt find anything but pygtk. Did I screw up the installation or
    something? I dont find any gtk.py file in the python library
    directories.

    Thank you.

      my pygtk provides
      /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py, which contains
      the gtk module. You should ensure that you have that file, and if not,
      find out where to get it.

          my pygtk provides
          /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py, which contains
          the gtk module. You should ensure that you have that file, and if not,
          find out where to get it.
          I had the files stored in my local space and my PYTHONPATH was wrong.
          It seems PYTHONPATH should contain both ...lib/python2.x and
          ....lib/python2.x/site-packages while mine was simply ...lib (one'd
          expect them to actually mention this in the documentation). Once I
          fixed PYTHONPATH, it ran fine, although I still cant figure out why it
          got pygtk in the first place coz it wasnt in PYTHONPATH the first time.

              Great advice. I've tried >:
              $ ls /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gtk-2.0
              atk.so dsextras.py dsextras.pyc dsextras.pyo gobject.so gtk
              pangocairo.so pango.so

              So, I found some problem related this, would you please post the content of
              that file?

              NOTE there's one more directory in that position and has its own __init__.
