[pygtk] import gtk : gives error message

[varun_shrivastava]

hi
i finally found the solution for this, for directfb 

open file pygtk-x.x/gtk/gdk.override
search "ignore" in it
than add gdk_keyval_convert_case in that block
it should than look like this
%% 
ignore
gdk_window_set_debug_updates 
gdk_region_destroy
gdk_atom_intern_static_string
gdk_pixbuf_from_pixdata
gdk_keyval_convert_case
%%

Make a change also in gtk+/gdk/directfb/gdkproperty-directfb.c
search for function gdk_atom_name and replace all statements with these
statements so that it looks like

gchar *
gdk_atom_name (GdkAtom atom) 
{
  if (!atoms_to_names)
          ensure_atom_tables();
  
 if (GPOINTER_TO_INT (atom)-1 >= atoms_to_names->len)
     return NULL;
return g_strdup(g_ptr_array_index (atoms_to_names, 
                        GPOINTER_TO_INT(atom)-1));
} 
 
after making changes first make install gtk again
than proceed as shown
1. cd pygobject && ./configure PYTHON=pythonx.x && make && make install
(x.x is version of python currently installed) 
2. cd pygtk && ./configure PYTHON=pythonx.x && make && make install



cheers
