python 2.5 -> 2.6 import module pymsn

[Quentin Lampin]

Empathy cannot connect to msn accounts.
launching telepathy-butterfly after setting $BUTTERFLY_PERSIST to 1 and $BUTTERFLY_DEBUG=all, we get some useful informations.
telepathy-butterfly is trying to import the module pymsn. The problem is that it's using python 2.6 and that the pymsn module is in the python2.5 modules directories as shown by:
 quentin@quentin-laptop-eee:~$ find /usr/lib/ -name pymsn*
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pymsn-0.3.3.egg-info
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pymsn

Switching back to python2.5 solves the issue but it's a temporary fix.

quentin@quentin-laptop-eee:~$ apt-cache policy pymsnt
pymsnt:

The package in question is python-msn, not pymsnt. It works fine for me here - try reinstalling python-msn.

[Quentin Lampin (quentin-lampin)]

My bad, the package is python-msn (and it's installed). Anyway, the problem seems to affect the migration of python modules version 2.5 to 2.6. As I stated above, switching from 2.6 to 2.5 solved the problem. I don't know what it means, perhaps is it necessary to port python-msn to python 2.6 or to make python 2.5 modules available in 2.6.
by the way, here is the correct apt-cache policy output:
quentin@quentin-laptop-eee:~$ apt-cache policy python-msn
python-msn:
  Installé : 0.3.3-0ubuntu2
  Candidat : 0.3.3-0ubuntu2
 Table de version :

I found a solution for this bug:
First make sure that /usr/bin.python is a symlink pointing to /usr/bin/python2.6
then
sudo dpkg-reconfigure python-msn

[Quentin Lampin (quentin-lampin)]

Just make sure that python-msn has been configured against python 2.6
