No module named pyatspi

Binary package hint: at-spi

Might be the caused of path changes in the last upstream release.

This is caused by a stale reference to site-packages in /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/pyatspi-cobra.pth. It refers to the old 'site-packages' instead of 'dist-packages'. The contents should look like:

import commands, sys; a = commands.getoutput('gconftool-2 --get /desktop/gnome/interface/at-spi-corba'); (a == 'true') and sys.path.insert(0, '/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/pyatspi-corba')

Thanks WaywardGeek that patch works !

[Attila Hammer (hammera)]

Hy Arki and all,

Little this is off, but if I do the change, pyatspi is imported, but if
I try run orca -v command, Orca doesn't import orca.orca module.
This is normal?
Possible my upgraded system is bugy (I do the upgrade with oldest time).
I download actual daily live cd and try the change if I have sighted
assistance.

Attila it might be unrelated problem. Can post the error you are getting when you launch orca.

[Attila Hammer (hammera)]

Arki, unfortunately I am not possible help found what the error message
now absolute sure.
The problem is following:
Yesterday evening I downloaded actual daily live cd. When I booted the
live cd and the Desktop is present, my wife says me my display is blank.
After we try the live cd, I chrooted my actual Lucid system with another
system after I do the patch, and I run orca -v command.
I see this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named orca.orca

Possible my prewious upgrade Lucid system is bugy, but I am can not
confirm this now because my display is blank when I booting the live cd.
Unfortunately I have'nt got a braille display. I am sorry if this
information is not help you. :-(:-(

Thank you Luke the fix, works very well if the
/desktop/gnome/interface/at-spi-corba gconf value setted up true .
I have a question:
need run the gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/interface/at-spi-corba
--type bool true command when next daily live cd is publicated?
I ask this, because I downloaded the 2009-02-14 daily live cd (now this
morning this is avaylable with current directory with
cdimage.ubuntu.com/day-live location), extracted the squashfs
filesystem, and installed the latest updates. If I not configure this
gconf value, Orca does'nt import pyatspi module. If this gconf value is
true, Orca correct import the pyatspi module after the updates
installed, shows the version number (2.29.2) if I using the -v option.
Or if the user choosing accessible profile with screen reader support,
this value will be configured automaticaly with next daily live cd?

I forgot about this. Willie (the Orca guy) had me do:

    $ gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/interface/at-spi-corba --type bool true

It's probably also required to get Orca working in Lucid.

RIght, I thought that the at-spi package took appropriate action to set this gconf key. WIll upload a new update to fix this, and set that key by default.

[Attila Hammer (hammera)]

Luke, unfortunately latest current daily live cd Orca is not talking when I tryed.
The problem is possible related with this bug (oldest time you fixed this bug).
When I booted the current available downloaded Lucid daily live cd with screen reader support, Orca is not talking. I look /desktop/gnome/interface/at-spi-corba gconf value, the value is false. When I setted up with this value to true again, Orca is talking fine when I launched Orca again.
Possible not setted up default true value when the maintainers upgraded with At-Spi package with new version with this gconf key?

My machine this problem is not happen, because I setted up my home folder with this gconf key default with true, and if an at-spi update is happening, don't disturb Orca working my installed system.
But, my system are installed with since Alpha1.

  * Re-set /desktop/gnome/interface/at-spi-corba to true, as it seems at-spi
