python2-gobject on Arch linux ImportError: No module named gobject


I have some example file (download URL) to understand how to create Twisted chat with GUI.

In this particular file I have an exception ImportError: No module named gobject. It's true, I have only gi and already installed:

sudo pacman -S python2-gobject

So I decide that this code for python3, and again fail. After pip install twisted I can't run code: ImportError: cannot import name 'gtk2reactor' appears.

How to run this code at least.

And how to prevent this in future, because I have the same error in many science packages for python.

P.S. installing from source impossible either. make returns a lot of errors even if ./configure completes fine.


Solution

  • Juhaz from Freenode told me that the code in examples was pretty old and uses unmaintained bindings.

    In case someone starts the same was as I am this question would be helpfull. Try to look at wkPython, for example this post.
