I have Ubuntu 14.04 with python-2.7 and python-3 support. I am porting my python application from python-2.7 to python-3. I have example.py file which is importing below modules. and I #!/usr/bin/python3 as python evn variable.

import gtk, gobject, time, sys, os, subprocess, signal
**ImportError: No module named 'gtk'**

I am getting above error, when trying to run with python3.

Any idea what is missing here?

try:

from gi.repository import Gtk

and replace gtk by Gtk in your code

or

from gi.repository import Gtk as gtk

Use the GObject introspection based Python3 bindings for Gtk and friends:

from gi.repository import Gtk, GObject

That needs the package python3-gi which is installed by default.

Some names have changed since PyGTK. The Python GObject Introspection API Reference should help you to find the new names (and other changes).
