I've been trying to get Python working in scratchbox, but so far have been unsuccessful. Take a look:

Code:
[sbox-DIABLO_X86: ~] > fakeroot apt-get install python2.5-sdk
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
python2.5-sdk is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 5 not upgraded.
[sbox-DIABLO_X86: ~] > python
Python 2.3.4 (#1, Sep 26 2008, 16:50:43)
[GCC 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-13)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import gtk
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: No module named gtk
Does anyone know what the problem may be? Thanks.

Invoke python 2.5 directly by running "python2.5".

Yeah, this is where I punted.

The pygtk stuff is usually in:

/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages

but I think in sb it's hangin' out in:

/usr/lib/python-packages

The README file in the above directory suggests reading this file for more info:

/usr/lib/python2.5/site.py

Sorry I'm so lazy. Did qwerty12 fix it for you?

Oh yeah, I think I made a symlink inside /usr/bin

python -> python2.5

I don't think it helped me though.

Firing my box up now...

EDIT:

Did you do the following?

fakeroot apt-get install python2.5
fakeroot apt-get install python-gtk2

And things are working except for hildon. There doesn't seem to be hildon python bindings in the repositories that the Beta SDK is pointing to.

Using python2.5 directly allows me to import gtk, hildon, etc. Thanks! One other issue, though, is when I try to open an application in Xephyr (python2.5 test.py), nothing appears but no errors are given either.

Hmm...

Edit: This reminds me, I hate scratchbox.

That's because scratchbox intercepts it and runs its own, old, native version of python (as BrentDC saw). If you really want to make running "python" run python2.5 do this:

Code:
export SBOX_REDIRECT_IGNORE=/usr/bin/python ; export PATH=/usr/bin:$PATH
But at the cost of having a slow shell in scratchbox...

His terminal is self-explanatory :P

I followed exactly what Qwerty said I don't know if it is really *working* though, I still can't get apps to run.

After having done "export DISPLAY=:2" (or wherever your Xephyr sits) and "af-sb-init.sh start" (which should bring up the Desktop in Xephyr), run your app from the commandline with "run-standalone.sh" prefixed, i.e.

Code:
export DISPLAY=:2
af-sb-init.sh start
run-standalone.sh python2.5 test.py
(of course, you only do the first two commands once whenever you enter scratchbox)
