Bug Description

I get the following error msg when clicking on the example links in yelp.

The Uniform Resource Identifier ‘file:///usr/share/doc/python-gtk2-tutorial/html/examples/uimanager.py’ is invalid or does not point to an actual file.

some of the links work and some don't (arrow.py works, drawarea.py doesn't)

list of broken links:

packbox.py
rangewidgets.py
progressbar.py
wheelbarrow.py
spinbutton.py
calendar.py
toolbar.py
drawingarea.py
uimanager.py
textview-basic.py
testtext.py
filelisting-gtm.py
clipboard.py
actiongroup.py
dragndrop.py

running:

sudo gunzip *.gz

in the examples folder fixes this problem

seems as if not all the files were unpacked.

I don't have a /usr/share/doc/python-gtk2-tutorial/ directory. This seems to be part of a non-default package. Sounds kind of interesting though.

Chris, which package did you add to get this tutorial?

We don't link directly to the pygtk docs anywhere except to the "front page" at file:///usr/share/doc/python-gtk2-tutorial/html/index.html and we don't do that until we've said "install them please".

Browsing the pygtk tutorial (go to the front page, linked above, scroll to the bottom and choose "9.4 progress bar example", then scroll down and press "progressbar.py" underneath the image and yelp will complain about not finding the file.

This does not appear to be a problem with yelp. Yelp complains because these files are gunziped.

This is a problem with how the tutorial is packaged. Either the *.gz files in file:///usr/share/doc/python-gtk2-tutorial/html/examples should be decompressed before packaging, as part of the apt-get install post process or the user should be instructed to sudo gunzip *.gz in that directory.

Attached screen shot of before and after "sudo gunzip *.gz" and now all links word great.

I can confirm having this bug while browsing the documentation with any browser in Hardy. "sudo gunzip /usr/share/doc/python-gtk2-tutorial/html/examples/*.gz" fixes it.

Example pygtkconsole.py from the tutorial doesn't run properly. In Idle, I get an error about indenting (see screenshot). If I just try running the program with python, I get an empty window. It is supposed to give me some sample buttons that activate a "Hello World!" message. See page file:///usr/share/doc/python-gtk2-tutorial/html/ch-Introduction.html
