from gi.repository import Gtk
import _gtk
The last line should read:
from import _gtk
This bug should be reassigned somewhere else, but I haven't decided
where yet. Anyway, here are some ideas how to fix (or "fix") it:
1) Make pydoc more robust. It could spawn a worker process, which would
do all the nasty import job. If the worked process segfaulted, it
wouldn't be a big deal, as a new one could be spawned.
2) Fix both python-gtk2 and python-gi, so that ImportError is thrown
early if you try to load Gtk$n bindings and Gtk$((5-n)) are already in
sys.modules. This should be easy to do on the python-gtk2 side, and
probably way more tricky on the python-gi side. Also, this solves the
problem only partially, because there are other Python extensions linked
to libgtk2 or libgtk3. (Certainly too many too fix them all. :/)
3) Make libgtk2 and libgtk3 use symbol versioning. Probably not
something that would be accepted for wheezy. :/
