Undefined variable from import: GObject

Question

I'm trying to build a GTK+ application with PyDev 2.7.1 in Eclipse Helios on ubuntu 12.04. But Python cannot find the class gobject.GObject. I installed any gobject library i could find and tried several external library paths, like mentioned in these post pydev issue with gobject and How to resolve these unresolved imports in PyDev ( eclipse )?.

but anything worked so far. Does anyone know a workaround/solution ?

Regards Ck

  import pygtk
  pygtk.require("2.0")
  import gobject

  class MyClass(gobject.GObject):
  ...

the import

  from gi.repository import GObject

doesn't work eather.

I also added /usr/lib/pyshared/python2.7, in which the gtk-2.0, gi and gobject modules are located, to my PYTHONPATH in Eclipse, but it made no difference.

I added a forced builtin for gi to the interpreter as well, but without effect.

here a bug is reported http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=649861 , but also that it has been solved since pygobject 3.0.2-4. my version of python-gobject is 3.2.2-1

The import works for the test script executed in PyDev and in a terminal:

from gi.repository import GObject, Gtk

class Test(GObject.GObject):
    def __init__(self):
        GObject.GObject.__init__(self)
        print ("test")

    def main(self):
        print ("Import has worked")

print (__name__)
if __name__ == '__main__':    
    test = Test()
    test.main()

When I apply this to class MyClass(GObject.GObject) I get the following error:

ImportError: could not import gobject (error was: ImportError('When using gi.repository you must not import static modules like "gobject". Please change all occurrences of "import gobject" to "from gi.repository import GObject".',))

There is no import gobject, only from gi.repository import GObject.

I finally found it.

import gobject


class MyClass(gobject.GObject):

def __init__(self, channelstrip, name, s_type, mainWin):
    gobject.GObject.__init__(self)
