import module doesn't work for new package

[goldtech]

I tried install a Python - would the word be "package"? - on Ubuntu
10.10. Could you tell me how to fix? I would be grateful, is it a path
problem? Thanks. Lee

That looks to me like either a missing dependency, or a bug in the
package.

It could be that package pykhtml depends on another package khtml, which
isn't installed, or it could simply be a bug in pykhtml.

It might help if you look at the MANIFEST file that came with the pykhtml
package, and see what files it lists.

import khtml, kdecore, kdeui, kio, dcopext
ImportError: No module named khtml

Given those names this package is targeted for use with the KDE
windowing system... Is that what you are running?

If you are talking about http://paul.giannaros.org/pykhtml/ , this package
requires kde3 while you are /probably/ running kde4.

This would become

from PyKDE4 import khtml, kdecore, kdeui, kio

in KDE4, but there are /probably/ API changes. DCOP which is /probably/ what
dcopext provides has been replaced with dbus.

Given these changes and the fact that pykhtml development has stopped in
early 2008 you'd /probably/ have to put in a lot of effort to make it work
with your current desktop environment.
