Description Lucian 2009-04-03 18:03:20 UTC

Please describe the problem:
My goal was getting PyGTK with Quartz rendering running on OS X. I first tried macports, but they have their own bug http://trac.macports.org/ticket/18956.

Then, I tried building PyGTK myself, with the .framework from here http://www.gtk-osx.org/.

pygobject-2.16.1 build fine, but on import I get this error.

Python is MacPython from python.org.

ImportError: could not import glib (error was: 'import_module() takes at most 5 arguments (6 given)')

</code>

Steps to reproduce:
1. Download and install Gtk.framework and friends
2. Build pygobject with that
3. import gobject


Actual results:
I get an exception from the interpreter.

Expected results:
It should import without any message.

Does this happen every time?
Yes.

Other information:
At first I thought it was only on OS X, but I a quick google revealed this http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=60135

dup of Bug #565593?

Yes, it seems that is is a dup.

I've tried with system macpython and it still doesn't work (again ihooks), but gives a different error.
