BitTorrent can't find gtk

Kruncher · 04-30-2005, 08:58 PM

I have Python, GTK, pygtk, and BitTorrent (4.0.1) installed.
This is the error BitTorrent gives me:

bash-3.00$ python btdownloadgui.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "btdownloadgui.py", line 27, in ?
import gtk
ImportError: No module named gtk

Same here. Have not tried to resolve it. I use

Code:

btdownloadcurses.py --max_upload_rate NUM --save_in /foo/bar MY.torrent

Low CPU consumption

Could it be how I installed pygtk?

$ ./configure
$ make
$ su
# checkinstall

I would have done it like it says in the README
$ ./configure --prefix=<prefix where python is installed>
$ make
$ make install

but I don't know where python is installed to.

You could try azureus.

Azureus takes too much processing power.

I couldn't watch VCD and had Azureus running at the same time.

With bittorrent, I could.

Well you can use btdownloadcurses.py as directed above. It runs in the console and doesn't use up a lot of resources.

I don't want to use Azureus and I don't want to use command line.
What can I do to resolve this problem?

Try using the pygtk package from http://linuxpackages.net

you must use python2.3 for BitTorrent.
instead of

Quote:

$ python btdownloadgui.py

type

Code:

$ python2.3 btdownloadgui.py

it's that simple

If you use KDE, you can install ktorrent.

Thanks,

I never bothered to find out how to fix the gtk problem.

I use btdownloadcurses.py as well.

The only complain I have about using official bittorrent from command line is that I can't change the parameter on the fly. Parameters such as --max_upload_rate
