Comment 2 paul 2008-03-08 20:10:55 UTC

actually, not a duplicate
pygtk and gnome-python are installed and available with the right environment variable set
on some platforms, pygtk needs to be explicitly imported before any of the modules under it

Comment 4 Robert Ancell 2008-03-10 03:33:38 UTC

This call used to be included, it was accidentally undone when moving (see bug 483556)

Comment 5 Robert Ancell 2008-03-10 03:47:43 UTC

Requesting code-freeze break for this change.

Comment 6 Robert Ancell 2008-03-10 03:49:10 UTC

We need to use the patch from bug 483556 as gtk can be imported before defaults.py has been imported.

Comment 7 Robert Ancell 2008-03-10 12:24:28 UTC

Code freeze granted and patch committed
