yes, the import fails, when you don't have python-gi-dbg installed. after installing python-gi-dbg, I get:
$ python2.7-dbg -c 'import gi' Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/__init__.py", line 27, in <module> from ._gi import _API, Repository ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/_gi_d.so: undefined symbol: Py_InitModule4_64 [18485 refs] so it looks like the extension is built using the normal version, not the debug version of the interpreter. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to pygobject in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1091615 Title: [raring] recent versions break python2.7-dbg: undefined symbol: Py_InitModule4_64 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pygobject/+bug/1091615/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
