[Bug 636372] Re: pygtk-2.16.0 causes python-2.7 to segfault if warning settings are changed from default to "error"

[Lukasz Kies]

After PyGTK is rebuilded it makes RuntimeError for all packages requires python-pygtk:
[kiesiu at beth packages]$ gimp
(gimp:19344): LibGimpBase-WARNING **: gimp: gimp_wire_read(): error
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/python/gimpfu.py", line 801, in _run
  File "/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/python-console.py", line 33, in do_console
    import sys, gobject, gtk, gimpenums, gimpshelf, gimpui, pyconsole
  File "/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/python/gimpui.py", line 36, in <module>
RuntimeError: could not find _PyGtk_API object

Thus all packages require python-pygtk need to be rebuilded with new pygtk. For Th and python-pygtk-gtk there are:

Bug description:
python-pygtk-2.16.0 causes python-2.7 to segfault if warning settings are changed from default to "error".
Because PyGTK-2.10+ throws only warnings applications which use PyGTK change warning settings to catch an exception while importing gtk module and X display is not available.

[kiesiu at beth ~]$ python -c "import warnings; warnings.filterwarnings('error', module='gtk'); import gtk"
python: Objects/dictobject.c:759: PyDict_SetItem: Assertion `value' failed.
Aborted

[kiesiu at beth ~]$ rpm -q python-pygtk-gtk
