I installed the deb files of Fpdb (a poker analysis tool); and i downloaded the program. The problem is that when i try to run it from the terminal i get this: "ImportError: No module named pygtk "; I tried to re install and update pygtk but i can't solve the problem.

thanks in advance for any suggestion;

  • What is your Ubuntu version? How exactly did you try to "install and update pygtk"? – steeldriver Jan 04 '15 at 18:39
  • Motion to re-open, since the answer I gave (and the one pointed to) don't solve the OP's question. – IronManMark20 Jun 09 '15 at 22:15
  • I am having the same issue, and the answer that is supposed to be a "duplicate" does not help me (I already have the package installed, and continue to get "no module named gtk"). –  Dec 12 '15 at 16:02

This means the program you are running is looking for a particular python library called pygtk, which allows your program to have a gui. So, to let the program work, you need to install pygtk:

sudo apt-get install python-gtk2-dev

That should do it.

  • When i mean install and update the library i mean with the command: sudo apt-get install python-gtk2-dev Also to test that i tried to run python on the terminal and when i try to import pygtk from there i get the same error. What should i do? – charlizard Jan 06 '15 at 12:42
  • You may want to try to look around in /usr/bin/python/Lib/site-packages for the pygtk folder. Is there one? – IronManMark20 Jan 07 '15 at 23:54
  • There is a gtk-2.0 folder; – charlizard Jan 10 '15 at 14:47
  • I'm having the same problem, and have python-gtk2-dev installed. – Steve Kroon Jun 09 '15 at 05:43
  • the last time I installed this package, apt updates complained every time they ran, and I basically had to remove it with a crowbar (manually removing dpkg's index of the package). Now I see ccsm doesn't run without it. Watch out https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-defaults/+bug/1808979 – caduceus Oct 23 '19 at 13:20
