Module codegen.createdefs is not installed

Bug #75606 reported by Michael Bienia on 2006-12-13

	pygtk (Ubuntu)	Fix Released	Low	Ubuntu Desktop Bugs

Bug Description

/usr/share/python-support/python-gobject/gtk-2.0/dsextras.py tries to import codegen.createdefs which is missing.

This leads to the following error message when one tries to use Template from dsextras:
***************************************************************************
Codegen could not be found on your system and is required by the
dsextras.Template and dsextras.TemplateExtension classes. codegen is part
of PyGTK. To use either Template or TemplateExtension, you should also
install PyGTK.
***************************************************************************

createdefs.py is included in the pygtk orig.tar.gz in the codegen dir but doesn't get installed.

Thank you for your bug. What version of python-gtk2 do you use? Does "python -c "import codegen.createdefs"" work fine? That works fine on my feisty desktop

I found this bug while trying to resolve the FTBFS of diacanvas2 (python-diacanvas2).

I can only import codegen modules after adding /usr/share/pygtk/2.0 to the search path (but not the codegen.createdefs module)

>>> import codegen.override
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: No module named codegen.override
>>> import sys
>>> sys.path.append("/usr/share/pygtk/2.0/")

It's doing the same on my feisty desktop now, I've forwarded that upstream: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=385934

pygtk debdiff Edit (2.1 KiB, text/plain)

The attached patch moves createdefs.py to the list of files which are installed.

Could the patch be applied until this is resolved upstream?
