Error: no module named gtk.glade

Question

I researched and tried this for two days now and I cannot get gtk to work on Windows 7 with Python 3.4! Whenever I launch my .py file on Python 3.4 with import gtk, I get No module named gtk! I installed pygobject but it did not help. Even gtk3-demo command works in the windows cmd prompt.

I finally got gtk to import (I think) by copying the GTK directory right to C:\Python34\Lib. But now I have a problem with gtk.glade.

Where is this? Where do I copy it from and to where?

You are possibly using an outdated tutorial, see the current Python GTK 3 tutorial for a more up-to-date reference.

In particular, the way to import GTK has changed in GTK3 to:

from gi.repository import Gtk

And instead of libglade, you would use the newer Gtk.Builder class like so:

ui = Gtk.Builder()
ui.add_from_file("my_glade_file.glade")

(you still develop the UI using Glade, it is only how you access it from your program that has changed).
