Bug Description

Binary package hint: gaphor

Hi,

Gaphor is still using Python 2.4 under Jaunty and it's creating problem of dependencies.
When I try to start it, there is this error :
cedric@prophet:~$ gaphor
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/gaphor", line 7, in ?
    sys.exit(
  File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.4/gaphor/__init__.py", line 57, in main

  File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.4/gaphor/__init__.py", line 36, in launch

  File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.4/gaphor/UML/diagram.py", line 12, in ?
    import gobject
ImportError: No module named gobject

I have already check before, the gobject is ok with python 2.5 but not anymore with 2.4, soluce will be to have gaphor compiled with 2.5 as it must be of python program for next release

Other solution could be that the program must look for python, at least
version 2.4 for jaunty, or add python2.5 as depends. I can do it

Last I looked gaphor needed zope and zope only worked on 2.4. Has that
changed?

zope has been ported to python 2.5 upstream, and there's a 3.4.0 preview package in experimental (3.4.0~c1-1). This bug really needs someone familiar with zope to examine it: we've had several releases in the past where gaphor was broken, and I'm not tempted to break all of zope (without any knowledge of zope) just to get gaphor to use 2.5 (or work in Jaunty).

So, solutions for this bug include 1) investigating the possibility of a transition to 2.5 for zope3 or 2) investigation of a patch for gobject that preserves compatibility with both 2.4 and 2.5. In the former case, gaphor also needs modification to remove the various means by which it forces the use of 2.4.

it's a goal for Jaunty to drop 2.4, so working towards 2.5 is probably
best.

I am also getting this bug in updated Jaunty.

Note that zope3 3.4.0 has since been updated in jaunty, but it still depends on python 2.4: it may be worth investigating to determine if this restriction is still required.

I have the same problem: gaphor pulled python 2.4, but by default the `gaphor' script does not work out of the box. ("ImportError: No module named pkg_resources" - pkg-resources is probably not installed for 2.4)

However, "python2.5 `which gaphor`" works to run gaphor.

It's an arch all package so you should be able to use it.
