gnome invest applet won't load after python-2.5 [RESOLVED]

[shur]

After upgrading python to 2.5 and the kernel to 2.6.26-gentoo-r6 and doing the python-updater recompiles, and rebooting, the gnome-invest applet won't reload. All the other applets seem to be ok, and everything else seems to work fine.

I tried installing the gnome-invest tarball but to no avail.. the same error message:
The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:Invest_Applet".

I then tried to run it directly from the source directory invest-applet-0.1.0/invest/invest-applet -w as suggested in the README. I got this:
univers invest # ./invest-applet -w
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./invest-applet", line 5, in <module>
import gtk, gnomeapplet
ImportError: No module named gnomeapplet

Can someone give me a pointer as to what I should be checking here. I get the impression that maybe the invest applet is looking for the gnomeapplet module in the wrong place.

I am using gnome-2.20 (x86), and it all got re-emerged with the python-updater.

The kernel version is 2.6.25-gentoo-r6

After noting that wxpython was generating a warning about not being able to access /usr/lib/python/site-packages, i had a look. There was no /usr/lib/python directory, only a /usr/lib/python-2.4 and a /usr/lib/python-2.5.

I made a /usr/lib/python as a symbolic link to /usr/lib/python-2.5, re-emerged wxpython and gnome-applets and voilà the invest applet works again as it did pre-python-2.5.

Since this is no doubt not the elegant solution that the gentoo gurus would envisage, I suggest that they have a look at it and adjust the ebuilds accordingly. But for me the problem is resolved.
