GTK and pygtk installed independently, though I've been told the GTK installer doesn't work on Windows 7 properly.

Thanks for the report!

Can you try and run DreamPie while setting %PATH% to nothing? Perhaps your other installation of GTK conflicts with DreamPie.
GTK and PyGTK come with the Windows installer, and therefore the GTK installer for windows 7 is not needed.

Another thing which might help me figure this out: Can you download the source, copy pygtk-2.6 and gtk-runtime directories from "\Program Files" to where you unpacked the archive, and try to run dreampie.py from there?

[jiri.zahradil (jz-zahradil)]

I did try to set the %PATH% to include installed directory with pygtk dll files - nothing happened. Although I have Python 2.6 installed, I dont have PyGTK installed (just dreampie).

[LorenXo (lorenxo-lnx)]

I've got the same problem. Fresh install on Windows 7 64bit with Python 2.6.4 64bit already installed. I haven't installed GTK or PyGTK myself.

After installing Dreampie it said it couldn't find Python so I pointed it at the 64bit Python install folder. I've since installed Python 2.6.4 32bit and reinstalled Dreampie but I don't know if it has actually changed which Python install it is using.

Setting %PATH% to nothing (by doing PATH=;) gives:

C:\Program Files (x86)\DreamPie>PATH
PATH=(null)

C:\Program Files (x86)\DreamPie>"C:\Program Files (x86)\DreamPie\dreampie.exe"

I get the same error in Windows Vista. Importing GTK from the standard Python interpreter works fine.

[kyledj (kyleisnotagerbil)]

I take that back: Importing pygtk works fine... when I try to import gtk on its own it fails. It seems to be an issue with GTK for me (so may be unrelated)

[Noam Yorav-Raphael (noamraph)]

kyledj - So does DreamPie (when installed with the Windows installer) works for you?

It seems to me that this problem is specific to Windows 7 64 bit. Am I correct?

[jiri.zahradil (jz-zahradil)]

My problem is related to Windows 7 64bit & Python 2.6 32bit.

[kyledj (kyleisnotagerbil)]

Noam - No, the installer does not work. It seems to be unable to import gtksourceview2. I am not sure why. This may be unrelated to the Windows 7 issues.

[Noam Yorav-Raphael (noamraph)]

Can you please try to download pygtk-2.6.zip from
https://sourceforge.net/projects/dreampie/files/pygtk-2.6.zip/download

And put the pygtk-2.6 directory from the zip file instead of \Program Files\DreamPie\pygtk-2.6 ?

I think it may solve the problem.

Some explanation: when I first created the Windows installer a few months ago, there was no Python 2.6 version of pygtksourceview2. So I took the Python 2.5 version, and textually replaced "python2.5" with "python2.6" in the file. It seemed to work fine, but perhaps in some cases it doesn't. Now an official Python 2.6 file was released, so I replaced my patched file with the official one.

Does it solve the problem?

[jiri.zahradil (jz-zahradil)]

It works perfectly for me. Thanks.

[Noam Yorav-Raphael (noamraph)]

Ok, so I assume that that was the problem.
If it still happens to anyone - reopen the bug!

[Tiffany Antopolski (mimico-tiffany)]

Works perfectly for me too.
Thank-you.

Worked great for me as well. Thanks a lot!

[Josh (q-launchpad-joshduck-spamgourmet-com)]

Doesn't fix it for me. I'm on Windows 64 with Python 2.6 win32. Replacing the pygtk folder moved the error from line 47 to 49.

[Noam Yorav-Raphael (noamraph)]

Can you re-check if when using the previous pygtk folder the error was on line 47 and now it's on line 49?

It's strange, because line 47 imports gtk.glade, and I haven't touched glade - the only difference between the folders is gtksourceview2.

[Josh (q-launchpad-joshduck-spamgourmet-com)]

Sorry, perhaps I made a mistake. I just uninstalled and retried. Error was on line 49 both times. I removed the old pygtk folder and replaced it with the one from the zip you linked to earlier.

[Josh (q-launchpad-joshduck-spamgourmet-com)]

Sorry, just recalled that I had installed and uninstalled GTK+ previously (the 2.16 bundle I think).

[Noam Yorav-Raphael (noamraph)]

I'm at a loss here.
Perhaps you can try to install the GTK bundle and pygtksourceview2 and
say if it works?
The pygtk-2.6 directory includes a README file with links to the
installer programs I used.

[Noam Yorav-Raphael (noamraph)]

Josh - do you mind to open a new bug? Since the change did solve the problem to some users, I think that we can close this one and start a fresh one.

(A hint that it's a different one: the message says "The specified procedure could not be found" instead of "The specified module".)

So I close this one and you start another one...

[Josh (q-launchpad-joshduck-spamgourmet-com)]

Noam, I've posted the new bug #529716. I didn't have much luck following the steps in the readme. I'm a bit short on time at the moment but if necessary I can give it another go later this week. Thanks.
