Python / Glade error

[jethro10]

Hi,
I am really new to glade/python so bear with me.
It was working with a small demo program I downloaded and something i've done must have broke it.
Is this bit of code at the top of my file legitimate ?

[CODE]
import sys
try:
import pygtk
pygtk.require("2.0")
except:
sys.exit(1)
try:
import gtk
except:
sys.exit(2)
try:
import gtk.glade
except:
sys.exit(3)
[END CODE]

It's chopped around from the original but i've discovered if I do the above I get a system exit (2) error

Is this telling me gtk is not loading right?

If so it's a step in the right direction.

[EDIT]
THe code is correctly indented, just does not display here

Use [/code] to end a code segment and try again.

I took your code from the HTML page source:

import sys
try:
import pygtk

pygtk.require("2.0")
except:
sys.exit(1)
try:
import gtk
except:
sys.exit(2)

try:
import gtk.glade
except:
sys.exit(3)

And it looks like 'import gtk' throws an exception.

Thanks, at least I know i'm looking for a GTK loading error.

And secondly thats what I thought it was so i'm happy i'm learning!

I wouldn't wrap those lines with try/excepts like that. An exectpion will cause an exit at those points anyway, and wrapping them in a try like that just eats the traceback.

Make sure you have the python-gtk2 package, and that you can import gtk from the interactive prompt.
