[Bug 387900] [NEW] Could not create a python ScriptEngine for the Python Widget

[Murz]

Public bug reported:

I have a Kubuntu Jaunty amd64 with KDE 4.3 beta 2 from kubuntu-ppa (http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/experimental/ubuntu) and I can't use a python plasmoids.
I try already created plasmoids and an empty plasmoid from http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Plasma/Python/GettingStarted

$ plasmoidviewer /path/to/folder
findServiceByDesktopPath:  not found

After that I see empty plasmoid with error "Could not create a python
ScriptEngine for the ...".

The plasma python files are exists on my system:
[code]$ locate plasmascript.py
/usr/share/python-support/plasma-scriptengine-python/PyKDE4/plasmascript.py
/var/lib/python-support/python2.6/PyKDE4/plasmascript.py
/var/lib/python-support/python2.6/PyKDE4/plasmascript.pyc

$ locate plasma_importer.py
/usr/share/kde4/apps/plasma_scriptengine_python/plasma_importer.py
/usr/share/kde4/apps/plasma_scriptengine_python/plasma_importer.pyc

$ dpkg -S /usr/share/kde4/apps/plasma_scriptengine_python/plasma_importer.py
plasma-scriptengine-python: /usr/share/kde4/apps/plasma_scriptengine_python/plasma_importer.py

$ dpkg -S /usr/share/python-support/plasma-scriptengine-python/PyKDE4/plasmascript.py
plasma-scriptengine-python: /usr/share/python-support/plasma-scriptengine-python/PyKDE4/plasmascript.py
[/code]

plasma-scriptengine-python package is installed, version
4:4.2.90-0ubuntu1~jaunty1~ppa2

When I try KDE 4.2, python plasmoids works good.

Installing python-dev package from the recomendation in bug
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebase-workspace/+bug/318815
didn't help.

What can I try else? Can I turn on traceback for give more info which
files KDE cannot found?
