I have updated gPodder portable to 3.7.0 but it is now asking me to install pyGTK. I have tried installing it but it still asks me to install it. Any suggestions?

It's already included in the gPodder Portable package. I just confirmed it's not a packaging issue by running it on my Windows 7 box that lacks both Python and PyGTK. So, something is interfering with it.
Please provide: OS version, full install path, new install vs upgrade (I believe you upgraded from the previous version), any antivirus or firewalls running, etc.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Hi, i have the same problem on my main Win 7 machine. On my other Win 7 machine, my Win 7 Virtualbox and my Win 8.1 Laptop it works without a problem.
Anti-virus on all of them is the current Avast. Firewall is the standard Windows Firewall.
This is a new installation.
There doesn't seem to be a log-file.
My settings-file looks like this:
[gPodderPortableSettings]
Language=de
LastDrive=R:
LastDirectory=\portableapps\PortableApps\gPodderPortable
[PortableApps.comLauncherLastRunEnvironment]
PAL:LastPortableAppsBaseDir=R:\portableapps
Any ideas what I could look for?

Hi,
I am having the problem that I get prompted to install PyGTK. PyGTK is already installed on my laptop. I have tried uninstalling it and re-trying but no luck. Any suggestions?
OS: Windows 8.1
Install path: H:\PortableApps\gPodderPortable (where H is the memory of an MP3 player attached via USB)
This is a new install of gPodder portable (installed today)
Windows firewall is running.
I tested it on Windows 8.1 without any Python/PyGTK installed and it worked as expected. PyGTK is definitely included in the bundled Python. Do you have any additional Python environment variables set on the machine? There may be one we're not setting in the launcher to ensure gPodder only looks at the bundled Python. We already set PATH, PYTHONHOME, and PYTHONPATH.

I would check if the affected system(s) have any GTK environment variables set, as bad environment variables or incompatible files (usually found via the environment variables) might be able to cause this issue.
Open a command prompt and run "
SET GTK". You should get "Environment variable GTK not defined". If instead you get a list where each line is like 'GTK_SOMETHING=something' (e.g. "GTK_BASEPATH=C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\bin") then go through each one and runSET GTK_SOMETHING=(with nothing after the '='). When you've done this running "SET GTK" should return "Environment variable GTK not defined", if it does then try running gPodderPortable.exe from that command-line (e.g.X:\PortableApps\gPodderPortable\gPodderPortable.exe).Let us know what happens.

I found the solution.
As I have already installed the python've had to change the file gPodderPortable.ini variables:
PYTHONHOME
PYTHONPATH
and put in them the path where the python have installed:
PYTHONHOME = C: \ Python27
PYTHONPATH = C: \ Python27 \ Lib; C: \ Python27 \ DLLs; C: \ Python27 \ Lib \ lib-tk
