Just upgraded from 2.4 to 2.5 of python and I'm finding that I have issues with importing gtk.
I have no idea what is happening and I've tried various methods of upgrading/re-compiling/downgrading pygobject & pygtk and python and glib and pycairo and cairo and a whole host of other packages and still this error. Google is not my friend unfortunately. I saw something like this from a debian bug report http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg186144.html Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Aug 7 2008, 23:56:43) [GCC 4.1.2 (Gentoo 4.1.2 p1.0.1)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import gtk Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 38, in <module> import gobject as _gobject File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gobject/__init__.py", line 30, in <module> from gobject.constants import * File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gobject/constants.py", line 22, in <module> from _gobject import type_from_name ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gobject/_gobject.so: undefined symbol: PyGILState_Release emerge --info Portage 2.1.4.4 (default-linux/x86/2007.0/server, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.5-r4, 2.6.17-gentoo-r8 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.17-gentoo-r8 i686 Pentium II (Deschutes) Timestamp of tree: Mon, 11 Aug 2008 14:15:01 +0000 distcc 2.18.3 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled] ccache version 2.3 [enabled] app-shells/bash: 3.2_p33 dev-lang/python: 2.5.2-r7 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r6 dev-util/ccache: 2.3 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.11.14-r6 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61-r2 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1, 1.10.1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.0-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.26 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.23-r3 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=pentium2 -O2 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/bind" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/gconf /etc/php/apache2-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cgi-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cli-php5/ext-active/ /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-march=pentium2 -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="buildpkg ccache distlocks metadata-transfer parallel-fetch sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirror.averse.net/pub/gentoo/ http://ftp.ucsb.edu/pub/mirrors/linux/gentoo/ http://gentoo.kems.net ftp://ftp.twaren.net/Linux/Gentoo/ http://mirrors1.mirrors.64hosting.com/pub/mirrors/gentoo/ http://mirror.gentoo.gr.jp"; MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/portage/local/layman/webapps-experimental /usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.jp.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="apache2 bash-completion berkdb bzip2 cjk crypt hardened logrotate memlimit mmx ncurses nls nptl ntpl ntplonly pam perl pic python readline samba session snmp ssl syslog tcpd unicode userlocales utf8 x86 xml xml2 zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1 emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic auth_digest authn_anon authn_dbd authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock dbd deflate dir disk_ cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers ident imagemap include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation proxy proxy_ajp proxy_balancer proxy_connect proxy_http rewrite setenvif so speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse evdev" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="apm ark chips cirrus cyrix dummy fbdev glint i128 i740 i810 imstt mach64 mga neomagic nsc nv r128 radeon rendition s3 s3virge savage siliconmotion sis sisusb tdfx tga trident tseng v4l vesa vga via vmware voodoo" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTs
