Hi.

I'm not exactly familiar with Mandrake, but it sounds like the
PyGTK package is only half-installed. I'm thinking that there
are two packages - the PyGTK runtime package and then the
development package - that have to be installed. Can you
tell if you have both installed?

There won't be a 'gobject.py' file installed, as PyGTK creates
a compiled code shared library 'gobject.so' that Python loads
up.

Sorry I haven't replied sooner, as I've been offline for a few
days.
