As a Debian user perhaps I can answer this for you. The "problem" is more with Debian, if you can call it a problem. Debian names their packages according to their own naming conventions. Most of the time this corrasponds to the upstream package name but sometimes it doesn't. Also debian users tend to want tight control over what is installed on their computers so they split up the gnome python packages into multipule packages. This might be a pain sometimes but it ensures that if your programs don't use python's glade bindings you don't need to have them installed. This is important for resource strained enviornments. Debian also has the libraries packaged for different python versions. So in your case python2.3-glade are the glade bindings (libglade to be exact) for python version 2.3. -- J5 _______________________________________________ pygtk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk Read the PyGTK FAQ: http://www.async.com.br/faq/pygtk/
