Does it fail the same with with avahi 0.6.24 (which is the port's current version now)?

Replying to blb@…:

yes, 0.6.24 also fails with the same error message

[blb@…]

What version of the python25 port do you have (port installed python25)? Also, do you have the python_select port installed and have used it to select python25?

[andi@…]

i upgraded python25 to the newest version, selected it and tried again. But it still fails:

To fully complete your installation and make python 2.5 the default, please run

	sudo port install python_select  
	sudo python_select python25

Odd...can you manually import the gtk module? Run python, then try import gtk and see what happens.

[andi@…]

no manually importing doesn't work too: where does python search for it's modules?

 andi$ python
Python 2.5.4 (r254:67916, Jan 12 2009, 23:50:37) 
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5488)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import gtk
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named gtk
>>> 

[blb@…]

It should be looking in either /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages or /opt/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages (one is just a symlink to the other); if you check port contents py25-gtk it should have installed a gtk-2.0 directory within it.

However, maybe you installed py25-gtk some time ago, prior to python25 2.5.2_7 and the paths could be off? If so, you may need to reinstall py25-gtk (though this is definitely just a theory at this point).
