Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/guake", line 24, in 
    import pygtk
ImportError: No module named pygtk

How to remove this error and make guake run properly ?

  • Try python2-gtk2, maybe python-gobject-2. Python version might be wrong against the module version. Alternatively, you may want to check which package provides pygtk.py and install more of them: sudo apt-get install apt-file, sudo apt-file update, apt-file search pygtk.py. Try running python and typing import pygtk on your own to check if it works.

Reset to default

I think your system default python is Python3.x, type

$ which python
$ which guake
/usr/bin/guake

And change the #! /usr/bin/python in /usr/bin/guake to #! /usr/bin/python2.7. Note that guake can be runed just on Python2.x, and the pygtk is just support Python2.x.
