this sometimes happens when a file in ~/.sudoku gets corrupted
try removing the (hidden) directory ".sudoku" inside your home folder
be advised that this way you'll lose all your saved games...

Ubuntu 8.10

Tried removing and reinstalling gnome-games, didn't work

gnome-sudoku stopped working after I installed python 2.6.1 from source

sudoku simply crashes on open. If I enter "gnome-sudoku" in the Terminal I get the following output:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/games/gnome-sudoku", line 35, in <module>
    import gtk
ImportError: No module named gtk

I also tried removing the hidden ".sudoku" directory but it didn't help

albannach, it seems the problem is caused by your custom installation of python 2.6.1, and thus unrelated to this bug report

It has been tested by my (I have a saved file that cause the game to crash) and the game succesfully print a error message on terminal and ignore the bad saved file.

I also attach an example file that cause gnome-sudoku to crash. You only need to put this file in ~/.sudoku/saved to reproduce the crash.
