When i try to run the setup.py script, i get this error:

Jorge, thanks for the report. This is a valid issue on trunk, but has been fixed on our future branch (which is where most of our development has been happening for many months).

I would suggest you try to run Entertainer from the future branch, however, Entertainer is currently broken on Ubuntu 9.10 because of some dependencies that did not make it into the Ubuntu Universe archive that Entertainer needs. There are some branches that are in progress, but they are not ready to land yet to fix the issues. Plus, the extra dependencies need to be packaged in the Entertainer Release Team PPA. I apologize that this prevents you from running Entertainer. We hope to fix these problems soon.

Thanks!

I will try a future branch, however could you tell me which dependencies are needed to run entertainer into 9.10?

I'm wondering if i can make the packages to do a workaround.

[Matt Layman (mblayman)]

The things that are missing are python-cluttergtk and python-cluttergst. Francesco Marella has been doing some work to try and get Entertainer running again. He's done some good work and published some branches that could be useful to you.

lp:~francesco-marella/entertainer/pyclutter-gtk-debian contains some packaging work for python-cluttergtk
lp:~francesco-marella/entertainer/pyclutter-gst-debian contains some packaging work for python-cluttergst
lp:~francesco-marella/entertainer/future-fixes has work to make Entertainer work with the version of clutter that is in 9.10.

Good luck!
