[Python-modules-team] Bug#525425: python-opengl: Similar error in Python interactive mode

[Michael Johnson]

Package: python-opengl
Version: 3.0.0~c1-1
Severity: normal

When in Python interactive mode, I get the following

>>> help()

....

help> modules

Please wait a moment while I gather a list of all available modules...

/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/twisted/words/im/__init__.py:8: UserWarning: twisted.im will be undergoing a rewrite at some point in the future.
  warnings.warn("twisted.im will be undergoing a rewrite at some point in the future.")

    _default_root.tk.call('package', 'require', 'Togl')
_tkinter.TclError: can't find package Togl


After doing a search I saw that mgltools-opengltk provided
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/opengltk/OpenGL/Tk/Togl/togl.so. Installing that
didn't help and nothing else appears to be close.

Removing python-opengl fixes the problem. But that doesn't seem to be a solution.

Also, could possibly #527342 take care of it?
