[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package python2.7 - 2.7.3~rc2-2ubuntu1

---------------
python2.7 (2.7.3~rc2-2ubuntu1) precise; urgency=low

  * Merge with Debian; remaining changes:

python2.7 (2.7.3~rc2-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Use xdg-open/gvfs-open in Lib/webbrowser.py (Michael Vogt).
    LP: #971311.
  * Add a paragraph about python-foo-dbg packages to README.debug.
    LP: #872050.
  * Disable some tests (no feedback from porters):
    - test_socket on hurd-i386.
    - test_io on amd64.
    - test_signal on kfreebsd-*. Closes: #654783.
    - test_threading on sparc.
  * Tighten build dependency on libexpat-dev. Closes: #665346.

    transactions, please use the python-bsddb3 package.
    Closes: #621374.
  * Don't ship the python2 and python2-config symlinks, move these
    to the python-minimal and python-dev packages. Closes: #663874.

Title:
  python2.7-dbg unable to import non-dbg C modules

Status in “python2.7” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  python2.7-dbg will attempt and fail to load non-debug C modules when
  the debug packages are not installed. For instance, I get the
  following exception when trying to import dbus:

  evan at caron:~$ python2.7-dbg
  Python 2.7.2+ (default, Oct  4 2011, 21:24:50) 
  [GCC 4.6.1] on linux2
  Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
  >>> import sys
  [39102 refs]
  >>> sys.excepthook = sys.__excepthook__
  [39102 refs]
  >>> import dbus
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/dbus/__init__.py", line 79, in <module>
      import dbus.types as types
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/dbus/types.py", line 6, in <module>
      from _dbus_bindings import ObjectPath, ByteArray, Signature, Byte,\
  ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/_dbus_bindings.so: undefined symbol: Py_InitModule4_64
  [40053 refs]

  (I reset the excepthook because apport imports apt_pkg, which also
  triggers this issue and complicates the backtrace)

  Installing the python-dbus-dbg package works around this issue
  successfully, but there's no indication in the docs that this is
  necessary.
