Test case

Running the attached script results in a segmentation fault. If I explicitly do
"del screen" it does not. Something in the garbage collection stage is not
letting this be unreffed correctly, I suspect it is being unreffed twice.

Looks like it is fixed, I can't reproduce it.
Comment 2 André Klapper 2018-08-17 13:42:29 UTC 
pygtk is not under active development anymore and had its last code changes
in 2013. Its codebase has been archived:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/pygtk/commits/master

PyGObject at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pygobject is its successor. See https://pygobject.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guide/porting.html for porting info.

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect
reality. Feel free to open a task in GNOME Gitlab if the issue described in this task still applies to a recent version of PyGObject. Thanks!
