From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624 Netscape/7.1 (ax) Description of problem: The source RPM for gnome-python2 contains bindings for GConf, however, these are packaged up into a sub-RPM which does not appear to be distributed in RHEL3 (not on ISOs, or in RHN). It used to be present in RHL 8 & 9. Without these bindings being available the utility of any GNOME python applications is somewhat limited since they can't seemlessly integrate with the GNOME configuration sub-system. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. up2date gnome-python2-gconf 2. Write a python application including the code import gconf 3. Actual Results: $ python2 Python 2.2.3 (#1, Aug 8 2003, 08:44:02) [GCC 3.2.3 20030502 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-13)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import gconf Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
