from gi.repository import Gtk import _gtk
The last line should read: from import _gtkThis bug should be reassigned somewhere else, but I haven't decided where yet. Anyway, here are some ideas how to fix (or "fix") it:
1) Make pydoc more robust. It could spawn a worker process, which would do all the nasty import job. If the worked process segfaulted, it wouldn't be a big deal, as a new one could be spawned.
2) Fix both python-gtk2 and python-gi, so that ImportError is thrown early if you try to load Gtk$n bindings and Gtk$((5-n)) are already in sys.modules. This should be easy to do on the python-gtk2 side, and probably way more tricky on the python-gi side. Also, this solves the problem only partially, because there are other Python extensions linked to libgtk2 or libgtk3. (Certainly too many too fix them all. :/)
3) Make libgtk2 and libgtk3 use symbol versioning. Probably not something that would be accepted for wheezy. :/
