[Bug 338996] Re: most simple plasma script does not run

[Isma]

** Description changed:

  In Jaunty (9.04):
  When I try to run the most simple python plasmoid example from http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Plasma/Python/GettingStarted
  I get following output in terminal:
  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  plasmoidviewer hello-python
  plasmoidviewer(7723) KServiceFactory::findServiceByDesktopPath: "findServiceByDesktopPath:  not found"
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/share/kde4/apps/plasma_scriptengine_python/pyappletscript.py", line 21, in <module>
      from PyKDE4.plasma import Plasma
  ImportError: No module named PyKDE4.plasma
  Error in sys.excepthook:
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/apport_python_hook.py", line 77, in apport_excepthook
      pr['PythonArgs'] = '%r' % sys.argv
  AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'argv'
  
  Original exception was:
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/share/kde4/apps/plasma_scriptengine_python/pyappletscript.py", line 21, in <module>
      from PyKDE4.plasma import Plasma
  ImportError: No module named PyKDE4.plasma
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  And the window which should show the plasmoid says: Could not create a python scriptengine for hello-python.
  
  The needed files all seem to be installed.
  
  Propably the Problem is that some Packages are compiled with python 2.5 like:
  python-kde4
  and some with python 2.6 libraries??? (like python-plasma)
  
+ I wrote the output to the troubleshooting section in the above mentioned wiki (techbase). Someone wrote as an answer:
+ ------------------------------------------------------------------
+ Solution: You have the Python ScriptEngine present on your system, but not the whole PyKDE4 installed, or your PyKDE4 was not installed with Plasma support. Install or compile PyKDE4 (python-kde4 on openSUSE) and the problem should be solved. 
+ -----------------------------------------------------------------
+ So maybe the package python-kde4 is compiled without plasma support?
+ 
  Version of python-plasma: 4.2.1a-0ubuntu2
  Version of python-kde4: 4.2.1-0ubuntu2
  Installed python versions: 2.6.1 ,  2.5.4-1ubuntu2 and 3.0, I cold not remove 2.5 without breaking dependencies
