Snap and Python, GTK.
 

I've created a Snap for my Python program, which runs fine and can be installed from a .deb. It has these statements:

Code:

---

from PIL import Image
from gi.repository import Gtk, GdkPixbuf

---

So I have this in the .yaml:

Code:

---

stage-packages:
    - python3
    - python3-pil
    - python3-gi
    - gir1.2-gtk-3.0
    - gir1.2-gdkpixbuf-2.0

---

It doesn’t seem to work though, trying to run the app, it errors:

Code:

---

chris@Dell-DXP051:~/myapp$ myapp
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 890, in _find_spec
AttributeError: 'DynamicImporter' object has no attribute 'find_spec'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "myapp.py", line 125, in <module>
    from gi.repository import Gtk, GdkPixbuf
  File "/snap/myapp/x11/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/importer.py", line 127, in find_module
    'introspection typelib not found' % namespace)
ImportError: cannot import name Gtk, introspection typelib not found

I've no idea how to find out what is missing and there doesn't seem to be an active GTK forum.

The PIL import works (I'd edit it out of the OP but it's not permitted).

However, nearly a year on, and I still haven't worked out how to import the GTK :( I've now tried a snapcraft.yanl copied from another post, but that doesn't work either. Surely someone must know how to create a Python+GTK Snap?
