Before any other thing, make sure the "vte" module you imported is the
expected one. Edit your script that way:


# import vte
try:
    import vte
except:
    error = gtk.MessageDialog (None, gtk.DIALOG_MODAL,
gtk.MESSAGE_ERROR, gtk.BUTTONS_OK,
        'You need to install python bindings for libvte')
    error.run()
    sys.exit (1)
else:
    print "using wte module : %s" % vte


and check the module path this prints to your stdout.
