Hi,

I'm attempting to use Enthought's Python [link|http://code.enthought.com/enthon/|distribution] to cobble together a least-squares fitting program. It should be trivial, right?

I found [link|http://mail.python.org/pipermail/edu-sig/2001-July/001493.html|this] little script (from July 2001) that would be perfect for my needs, if I could get it to run properly.

I'm running Win2k and have installed about a zillion packages for Python 2.3. Everything seems to be installed correctly. The Gtk examples run fine.

However, when I try to run the gtkLeastSquares.py script in IDLE - the interactive interpreter environment, I get an error:

NameError: global name 'GtkWindow' is not defined

If I change the source from:

from gtk import *

to

import gtk

and change

main_window = GtkWindow()

to

main_window = gtk.Window()

then that error no longer happens (and in fact it will up a gtk window if run with a couple of other lines of code in IDLE). Instead I get:

NameError: global name 'mainquit' is not defined

My questions:

1) Before I start changing the source very much, is there some clear indication that something is wrong with the source, or is it something with my installation? Is it a Python, or gtk.py, or other package, version issue?

2) How do I find out what the proper names of the Gtk* functions should be (i.e. GtkBlaBla() versus gtk.BlaBla())? I've been unable to figure out what file is actually loaded by the from gtk import * line (or what its source is).

Thanks a bunch.

Cheers,
Scott.
