Ubuntu 20.04 ImportError: No module named gtk.glade

Question

i am trying to launch an old python2 script. On ubuntu 18.04 i installed python-glade2 and it worked, unfortunately ubuntu 20.04 doesn't have it in repositories. Is there a way to get this gtk.glade module? Maybe some other library that provides it?

@edit: after following N0rbert's suggestions gtk/glade are installed but, unfortunately I also need python-gdal which I was trying to install in a similiar way and got error:

The following packages have unmet dependencies. python-gdal : Depends: gdal-abi-2-2-3 but it is not installable Depends: libgdal20 (>= 2.2.2) but it is not installable E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I assume that some packages from Ubuntu 20 that i need conflicts with the ones from ubuntu 18.

output of apt-cache policy python-gdal libgdal20:

python-gdal: Installed: (none) Candidate: (none) Version table: libgdal20: Installed: (none) Candidate: (none) Version table:

I am wondering if downloading .debs from ubuntu 18, then extracting only .py files and copying them into script directory is an only option here –

Solution

The python-gtk2 with python-glade2 may be installed manually using packages from 18.04 LTS by the commands below:

cd ~/Downloads
wget -c http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/p/pygtk/python-gtk2_2.24.0-5.1ubuntu2_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get install ./python-gtk2_2.24.0-5.1ubuntu2_amd64.deb

wget -c http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/p/pygtk/python-glade2_2.24.0-5.1ubuntu2_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get install ./python-glade2_2.24.0-5.1ubuntu2_amd64.deb

Try to run sudo apt-get dist-upgrade to get newest dependencies for current Ubuntu version.

it doesn't change apt-cache policy output. I think it's because python2 bindings are obsolete so the dependency libs were withdrawn

[N0rbert]

Do you have Gtk part solved? Can you import gtk.glade using python2 ?

[Kyeiv]

yes, I no longer get the No module named gtk.glade error.

[N0rbert]

So lets mark this problem solved (accept below answer). And then ask new question about Gdal.

[Kyeiv]

problem from the topic is solved, for the new one I created this thread

thank you N0rbert, unfortunately I also need python-gdal which I was trying to install in a similiar way you suggested and got error: The following packages have unmet dependencies. python-gdal : Depends: gdal-abi-2-2-3 but it is not installable Depends: libgdal20 (>= 2.2.2) but it is not installable E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. I assume that some packages from Ubuntu 20 that i need conflicts with the ones from ubuntu 18

[N0rbert]

Seems to be unrelated to Gtk issue. But anyway please add output of apt-cache policy python-gdal libgdal20 to the question.

python-gdal: Installed: (none) Candidate: (none) Version table: libgdal20: Installed: (none) Candidate: (none) Version table: I am wondering if downloading .debs from ubuntu 18, then extracting only .py files and copying them into script directory is an only option here

Please add such information to question body by editing it. In comments they are hard to read.
