1. Start up the python interpreter:
$ python

2. Import the vte module:
>>> import vte

This results in the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

+ Trace 49537

  • File "<stdin>", line 1 in ?
ImportError: dynamic module does not define init function (initvte)

This bug appears to be caused by a change in version 1.2 of
vte/python/vtemodule.c.  For some reason, two suspicious underscores appeared in
both the function name('initvte' to 'init_vte') and the first arg to
Py_InitModule('vte' to '_vte').  I'm not a big python guy but I think the
discrepancy between the function name and the name given to DL_EXPORT is to blame.

Yeah, this is pretty obviously a silly screwup. Just rename init_vte to initvte
and all is well.

        * python/vtemodule.c: Remove stray underscores so python module
        works again. Fixes bug #150760.
