[pygtk] Version error problem

 I decided to try to install an application called democracyplayer. 
 
I use Fedora Core 3, for which there was no democracyplayer package  available, so I'm trying to install the application from source. 
 
I've staggered over various hurdles so far, but have now reached a pygtk  one. 
 
When I search my system for packages, I find installed:  pygtk2-2.4.1-fc3.1.i386.rpm; pygtk2-devel-2.4.1-fc3.1.i386.rpm; and  pygtk2-libglade-2.4.1-fc3.1.i386.rpm. 
 
When I try to install democracyplayer, I get the following message: 
 
Traceback (most recent call last): 
 File "dist//usr/bin/democracyplayer", line 9, in ? 
   pygtk.require('2.0') 
 File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pygtk.py", line 73, in require 
   assert versions.has_key(version), \ 
AssertionError: required version '2.0' not found on system 
 
When I issue the command rpm -ql pygtk2, I'm told that one of the  included files is the file pygtk.py referred to in the above message. 
 
Unfortunately, my ignorance of these matters is effectively total. I'd  be very grateful to be told what I should be doing to overcome the error.
