BODY { font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px; }This is the result of searching for that library, also i dont get the error when running python normally only when its embeded, so something must be different when you embed for the error to only occur when when running code in the embeded version. locate /usr/lib/libpyglib /usr/lib/libpyglib-2.0-python2.6.so.0 /usr/lib/libpyglib-2.0-python2.6.so.0.0.0 I have double checked and i have all the python-dev packages and all the dev packages for things like gtk and the other libraries i require and have search for the .h files and they seem to be present and in place.

The problem is that you are loading a Python module that uses a C extension module under the hood so your python runtime is looking to load in that library as you import that module but its not finding it. How have you "installed" the gtk module so your embedded Python can see it? I've never embedded Python in a C application before but I'll do what I can to help you :) BTW: A great site for quick answers to questions like this (if you don't already know it) is stackoverflow.com [1] Jamie On 28 October 2010 22:46, Oliver Marks wrote: Hi i am a new member on this list and thought if some people may be able to enlighten me to the error below ? I am running 64 bit ubuntu 10.10 in case there are know issues with this setup, basically i am embedding python inside a c application i managed to get this to work i can call functions from the original c program and the scripts run until i import gtk in the python script this causes the error below. I am using the waf build system to build the c program, my knowledge of c is limited i am more a python programmer which is why i am attempting the embed python so i can write my plugins in python. I get the feeling the error is todo with linking but i dont get why i can import gtk normally in python but not when its embeded ? Any help or pointers would be appreciated, that might help me get this solved or better understand what is wrong.
