Bug#489955: ImportError: dynamic module does not define init function (initgtk)

[Jason Armstrong]

Thanks for the feedback.

Is there a way to know which file python was trying to load that
gave the actual error message?

Also, how can I see my python path?

On my machine, the following gtk.so files are found:

/usr/lib/python-support/python-gtk2/python2.4/gtk-2.0/gtk/_gtk.so
/usr/lib/python-support/python-gtk2/python2.5/gtk-2.0/gtk/gtk.so
/usr/lib/python-support/python-gtk2/python2.5/gtk-2.0/gtk/_gtk.so
/usr/lib/rep/i486-pc-linux-gnu/gui/gtk-2/gtk.so
/var/lib/python-support/python2.4/gtk-2.0/gtk/_gtk.so
/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/gtk-2.0/gtk/gtk.so
/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/gtk-2.0/gtk/_gtk.so

Most of them are symlinks to other files:

/usr/lib/python-support/python-gtk2/python2.4/gtk-2.0/gtk/_gtk.so
  => Real file from python-gtk2

/usr/lib/python-support/python-gtk2/python2.5/gtk-2.0/gtk/gtk.so
  => symlink to
  /usr/lib/python-support/python-gtk2/python2.5/gtk-2.0/gtk/_gtk.so

/usr/lib/python-support/python-gtk2/python2.5/gtk-2.0/gtk/_gtk.so
  => Real file from python-gtk2

/usr/lib/rep/i486-pc-linux-gnu/gui/gtk-2/gtk.so
  => Real file from rep-gtk

/var/lib/python-support/python2.4/gtk-2.0/gtk/_gtk.so
  => symlink to
  /usr/lib/python-support/python-gtk2/python2.4/gtk-2.0/gtk/_gtk.so

/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/gtk-2.0/gtk/gtk.so
  => symlink to
  /usr/lib/python-support/python-gtk2/python2.5/gtk-2.0/gtk/gtk.so

/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/gtk-2.0/gtk/_gtk.so
  => symlink to
  /usr/lib/python-support/python-gtk2/python2.5/gtk-2.0/gtk/_gtk.so

I have tried moving the 'real files' temporarily out of the way, but
this didn't help either.

Has the
/usr/lib/python-support/python-gtk2/python2.5/gtk-2.0/gtk/_gtk.so
file maybe been overwritten somehow?
