I'll see what I can do Monday, starting with reenabling gtk2. > Hello all, > > Since #4558 was merged, introducing "gi reactor" based on the new Python > bindings for gobject, all testing of the Gtk2 reactor has been disabled, > on all platforms. > > This is a two-part problem. > > The first part is the more damaging part, but fortunately also the more > easily fixed part. #4558 made it impossible to import > `twisted.internet.gtk2reactor` if `sys.modules` contains a "gi" key. > This seems to overlook the fact that even a *failed* import of the `gi` > module adds such a key to that dictionary.
