ImportError: No module named mainloop.glib
 

I try to run the following python code:

But I get the error in the title.


What am I doing wrong?
Any dependencies issue I might have?

Are you running it on Scratchbox or on the device ?

Which product are you using (fremantle or diablo) ?

If running on scratchbox, make sure you are running "python2.5" instead of just "python"

Also make sure you have up-to-date python-gobject and python-dbus packages. To do so, make sure extras-devel is enabled, run "apt-get update", followed by "apt-get install python-gobject python-dbus"

I tried the lines above on Scratchbox (fremantle) and they worked just fine.

Thank you for your reply.
I'm using fremantle on the N900 itself.

When I apt-get both packages you mentioned, I get
"x is already the newest version".

Also, I get the same error when running "pythone2.5 filename.py" and "python filename.py".

So, the issue still exist...

Ok, I've found the source of this error, for whoever is interested...

It was caused by my lack of python knowledge.
I called the script dbus.py, which caused the line "from gobject, dbus" to reference the same file I was trying to run...

good to know :)
