But why was this reassigned to swig?
Sorry I wrongly assumed that this is a problem in the module code generated by swig. Looks like I'm wrong (and thinking about it now, this should be included in the backtrace as well if this would be the case). [...] > Nothing in that backtrace has any relation to SWIG.

I personally would also consider such a buildd setup as broken but I honestly have no motivation to convince people of that and make a discussion of it on -devel. I'm reassigning this bug to python2.7 (intentionally, if Matthias considers this a bug, please clone and assign to 2.6 as well) so Matthias can decide whether this is a bug or not or discuss it on -devel. > OTOH it makes sense for the build of stfl to check if the library can be > imported.
