error on example #20

Closed areski closed 11 years ago

areski commented 11 years ago

I get the following error when trying the example : Traceback (most recent call last): File "test.py", line 3, in from appkit.api.v0_2_6 import App File "/home/areski/.virtualenvs/appkit/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/appkit/api/v0_2_6.py", line 1, in from appkit.app import App File "/home/areski/.virtualenvs/appkit/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/appkit/app.py", line 3, in from gi.repository import Gtk, Gdk, WebKit ImportError: No module named gi.repository

I imagine that we should add PyGI as a dependency ? https://wiki.gnome.org/PyGI

nitipit commented 11 years ago

Yeah, I think you're right.. anyway, the package should be 'pygobject' instead ? (PyGI wiki said it has been merged to PyGObject) https://wiki.gnome.org/PyGObject

nitipit commented 11 years ago

Install PyGObject might not that easy.. if you don't use gnome-desktop For me, I just use the PyGObject which comes with Gnome desktop but if you've already use Gnome Desktop, when you create the virtual environment with recent virtualenv in python you need to put --system-site-packages option like this

$ virtualenv --system-site-packages virtenv

To tell python to use PyGObject from system-wide packages

Thanks for follow up, it works like a charm! I think it will be important to update your Readme for the new comers like me. Here a good example : https://github.com/sontek/PyQuil/blob/master/README.markdown

Maybe you can lend it from @sontek
