PyGTK import error

[John]

Hi,

I've managed to get tryton working using SAO, however, when attempting to use the standard client, I get the following error:

$ tryton
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/path/to/tryton/folder/env/bin/tryton", line 46, in <module>
from tryton import client
File "/home/path/to/tryton/folder/env/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/tryton/client.py", line 170, in <module>
import pygtk
ImportError: No module named pygtk

Sao works decently, but has a number of quirks that make it less desirable especially for smaller screens. I am using a virtual environment, and I've tried installing pygtk without any success.

Any ideas how should I proceed?

Install python-gtk

If I run "pip install python-gtk" I get:

InsecurePlatformWarning
Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement python-gtk (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for python-gtk

If I instead run "sudo pip isntall python-gtk" I get:

Downloading/unpacking python-gtk
Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement python-gtk
Cleaning up...
No distributions at all found for python-gtk

Either way installation fails.

It depends probably on the system that you are working on, which the 'correct'
name of the package is. On pypi for example, PyGTK is probably the right one:
https://pypi.org/project/PyGTK/

pygtk can not be installed via the setuptools of Python.
You can try to compile it in your virtualenv but it is going to be a
challenging task.

The best is to not use virtualenv for the client and to use the system
packages for pygtk (and the few other dependencies of tryton).
Or if your distribution has Tryton package, it will even be simpler.


PS: Do not hesitate to report issue with sao.

Running "pip install PyGTK" seems to find the package, but it runs into a different error:

This helped quite a bit, and I was able to again run the client outside the virtual environment; however, the version of that was 3.0.2 which was unable to connect to the tryton server running from the virtual env (version 4.6.2).

I upgraded the client version to the lastest one (4.6.5); however, I think that got me back to the issues I was having before using a virtual env. Now, when I try to run the tryton client I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/usr/bin/tryton", line 66, in <module>
tryton.client.TrytonClient().run()
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'client'

The installation seems broken.
I suggest to not install manually the client as root as it may break
your system. But instead just run it from the source directory.
