I just spent months updating the Griffith movie/dvd manager from python2 to python3.  the glade package was moved.  This is what you need now.

 

import gi
gi.require_version('Gtk', '3.0')
from gi.repository import Gtk, Gdk

Folks,

  for years I've been using sbackup for doing my backups.  I've tried others and none come close to being as easy to use as sbackup.  Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any further development occurring on it. It was written originally to work with python2 and I have managed to get it to work with python2 on FC31 and FC32.  However, with the removal of most of the necessary python2 packages from FC33 it no longer works.  So I tried to get it to run under python3, and the first problem I encountered is the following:

 

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/sbin/simple-backup-config", line 30, in <module>

    import gtk.glade

ImportError: No module named glade

 

With python2 this module was located in

 

/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/glade.so

 

from package

 

pygtk2-libglade-2.24. 0-27.fc31.x86_64

 

This package does not exist in FC33 nor is there a corresponding package for FC33.  So why is there no glade.so module/package for python2 or python3?

 

Since there is no pygtk2-libglade in FC33 I tried to port it, but it fails if using with both python2 and python3 due to various errors, e.g. the following when using python3

 

  File "/usr/share/pygobject/2.0/codegen/codegen.py", line 429

    except argtypes.ArgTypeError, ex:

                                ^

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

make: *** [Makefile:1151: pango.c] Error 1

 

 

I don't want to try to port all the f31 python2 packages which are needed, I tried and it's a pain :(

 

Any help is appreciated.< /p>

 

Paolo
