Hey folks, sorry if this is an obvious question. I'm fairly new to GTK development and only slightly more knowledgeable about Python.
I'm trying to build a Chirp flatpak. Flatpaks are sandboxed, cross-distribution packages that are gaining a bit of momentum in the GNOME/KDE worlds. While flatpaks ship Python GTK support, they use the newer GI and don't use the older module. I manually install pygtk 2.24.0, but it installs such that "import pygtk" works but "import gtk" doesn't.
I wonder if this means I'm doing the installation wrong, or are these two distinct modules? I wonder if chirpw might try importing pygtk if plain gtk fails?
Thanks.
