installing on UBUNTU Hardy Heron

[Dogzilla1000]

I'm trying to install PyGtk on UBUNTU Hardy Heron for development, can't
make it work.

I'm trying to run the demo called base.py:

#!/usr/bin/env python
# example base.py

import sys
sys.path.append("/usr/share/python-support/python-gobject")



import pygtk
pygtk.require('2.0')
import gtk

class Base:
    def __init__(self):
        self.window = gtk.Window(gtk.WINDOW_TOPLEVEL)
        self.window.show()

    def main(self):
        gtk.main()

print __name__
if __name__ == "__main__":
    base = Base()
    base.main()


Initially, Python couldn't import pygtk. I found it, then just patched
in the sys.path.append for the time being to see what else needed work.
Now,  python stops at import gtk, which I discovered isn't installed
anywhere.

What are the steps I need to follow to correctly install PyGtk on
UBUNTU?

You shouldn't have to install this manually at all,

sudo apt-get install python-gtk2 python-gnome2 python-glade2

is all you normally need. And you definitely should not manipulate
sys.path for this. You may also try

sudo apt-get --reinstall install python2.5 python-gtk2 python-gnome2
python-glade2

to fix a previously existing installation.

I am using 8.04 Hardy Heron, worked out of the box for me.
