Description Thomas Vander Stichele 2006-09-23 10:42:42 UTC 
in an uninstalled copy of gst-python, running a simple program:

import gtk
from twisted.internet import reactor

tracebacks with
Traceback (most recent call last):

+ Trace 73050

  • File "bad.py", line 2 in ? 
    from twisted.internet import reactor
  • File "/usr/lib/python2.4/ihooks.py", line 409 in import_module 
    self.ensure_fromlist(m, fromlist)
  • File "/usr/lib/python2.4/ihooks.py", line 474 in ensure_fromlist 
    submod = self.import_it(sub, subname, m)

    m = self.loader.load_module(fqname, stuff)
  • File "/usr/lib/python2.4/ihooks.py", line 270 in load_module 
    m = self.hooks.load_source(name, filename, file)
  • File "/usr/lib/python2.4/ihooks.py", line 168 in load_source 
    return imp.load_source(name, filename, file)
  • File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/twisted/internet/reactor.py", line 11 in ? 
    from twisted.internet import selectreactor
  • File "/usr/lib/python2.4/ihooks.py", line 403 in import_module 
    parent = self.determine_parent(globals)
  • File "/usr/lib/python2.4/ihooks.py", line 420 in determine_parent 
    if '.' in pname:
TypeError: iterable argument required 

One of the reasons for this (as can be seen with python -v) is that the uninstalled copy has an ltihooks file, which the installed version of pygtk tries to import in the gtk module.

fixed in CVS, closing.
