Subject: Broken python binding

Date: Mon, 7 Nov 2005 18:52:38 -0800

Package: python-vte
Version: 0.11.15-2
Severity: grave

Due to a bug upstream (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=320931)
a python/vte.c generated for pygtk 2.8 is distributed with the tarball.
Since the date is newer than the other source files, it's not
regenerated, and the resultant binary does not work:

manish@peach:~$ python
Python 2.3.5 (#2, Aug 30 2005, 15:50:26)
[GCC 4.0.2 20050821 (prerelease) (Debian 4.0.1-6)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import vte
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/gtk-2.0/vtemodule.so: undefined symbol: pyg_set_object_has_new_constructor

Until the bug is fixed in a new upstream release, a simple workaround
would be to remove python/vte.c via debian/rules or some other
mechanism.

 Thanks for your report, I've already forwarded a couple of reports on
 this matter upstream, namely Debian bugs #334001 and #334668, and this
 is discussed at:
    <http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=313454>

 I noted that this is specific to Python 2.3, and rebuilding python-vte
 with Python 2.4 will make it import like a charm.

 If I understand you correctly, python/vte.c is generated automatically
 (it seems via pygtk-codegen-2.0) and the resulting code is not suitable
 for Python 2.3.  This seems to imply that this script has to be
 carefully split out in a python 2.3 and a python 2.4 version, or get
 some flags added to run in 2.3 compatibility mode.

 Hence, I removed vte.c and ran in a clean sid chroot (with pygtk
 2.6.3-2):
 bee% pygtk-codegen-2.0 -p pyvte -o vte.override --register
 /usr/share/pygtk/2.0/defs/gtk-types.defs --register
 /usr/share/pygtk/2.0/defs/gdk-types.defs --register
 /usr/share/pygtk/2.0/defs/pango-types.defs vte.defs vte.override >

 ***INFO*** There are no declared virtual accessors.
 ***INFO*** There are no declared interface proxies.

 and the result is the attached vte.c file which has only minor
 modifications beside this one:

     }
 ... which suggest the problem will be fixed.

 Do you have any suggestion on fixing the root problem (ie.
 pygtk-codegen-2.0)?

 Should all packages be examined against this problem?

 I don't get the same "import vte" error, but it still fails:
    >>> import vte
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
    ImportError: could not import gtk._gtk

 (This is with python2.3-gtk2 installed, and I called python-2.3.)

 I straced python, and it tries to open
 /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/gtk-2.0/<stdin> and similar
 directories, and I do have the following file:
    /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/_gtk.so

 Any idea?

I just apt-get source python-vte, rm'd python/vte.c from the tree, and
ran dpkg-buildpackage. This made a working python module for me, and I'm
using python 2.3 and pygtk 2.6.

I think something is wrong with your specific setup. Probably the whole
strace will give me some clues.

There isn't anything python 2.4 specific about what any version of
pygtk-codegen-2.0 generates.
