From official GNOME docs:

"Attention: PyGTK 2.24 will be the last release in the PyGTK series and will support the full GTK-2-24 API. PyGTK should not be used for new projects and existing PyGTK applications are recommended to be ported to PyGObject. See here for more information."

https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/PyGTK/WhatsNew224

Please stop asking me to update this package. I only "keep" it, so that it is not messed with by others, as some older applications still rely on it to function.

Thank you.

I have the same issues building it with gcc14 =\

Fails to build due to changes in gcc14:

Hello and thanks for that fast reply.

You are right. Happens when trying things out late when it's dark and you have just installed from live system rapidly ;)

Sorry to bother...

pygtk Package works fine indeed.

Hey, just install fakeroot: sudo pacman -S fakeroot fakeroot is needed for all packaging. You might have forgotten to install the base-devel group, which contains "Basic tools to build Arch Linux packages". So this issue is not at all related to this package.

Hello,

this package does not seem to work for me. When trying to build it I get the following error when building python2 is supposed to be done:

Cannot find the fakeroot binary.

Any idea how to solve this?

Adopted. I don't think there are any major changes to be made, but I'll keep track of this package for anything that needs to be fixed.

I think the arch should be updated to 'any', since it's a Python library. I'll do that soon. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Python_package_guidelines

You should update the upstream URL to that link, since the current one (which points to pygobject) is confusing at best...

From official GNOME docs:

"Attention: PyGTK 2.24 will be the last release in the PyGTK series and will support the full GTK-2-24 API. PyGTK should not be used for new projects and existing PyGTK applications are recommended to be ported to PyGObject. See here for more information."
