[Bug 1091615] Re: [raring] recent versions break python2.7-dbg: undefined symbol: Py_InitModule4_64

[Matthias Klose]

yes, the import fails, when you don't have python-gi-dbg installed.

after installing python-gi-dbg, I get:

$ python2.7-dbg -c 'import gi'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/__init__.py", line 27, in <module>
    from ._gi import _API, Repository
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/_gi_d.so: undefined symbol: Py_InitModule4_64
[18485 refs]

so it looks like the extension is built using the normal version, not
the debug version of the interpreter.

Bug description:
  One of the last python2.7 uploads seems to have broken the -dbg
  variant:

  $ python2.7-dbg -c 'import gi'
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/__init__.py", line 27, in <module>

  ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/_gi.so: undefined symbol: Py_InitModule4_64

  This also happens when rebuilding pygobject. python2.7, python3.3, and
  python3.3-dbg are all fine.
