Description Götz Waschk 2009-10-29 07:39:33 UTC 
This is basically the same as bug #599991 against gst-python. Nautilus-python fails to load libpython, as it looks in the wrong directory on x86_64 (/usr/lib instead of /usr/lib64) and it loads the wrong file (libpython2.6.so instead of libpython2.6.so.1.0).

Someone created a bug report on redhat's system (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=474428) and included a patch that should fix the problem.

In the meantime, this can be worked around by symlinking /usr/lib/libpython2.6.so to /usr/lib64/libpython2.6.so.
Comment 2 Adam Plumb 2010-01-12 18:27:27 UTC 
This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
Comment 3 Götz Waschk 2010-01-15 17:56:50 UTC 
This is not fixed. It still tries to open libpython2.6.so instead of libpython2.6.so.1.0. The former is in the devel package and not available on most end user systems.

Thanks.  I missed the second part of this bug report, as I was mostly focusing on the first bug.  This is committed to git master now.

I'll be releasing a minor point release in about a week with any further bug fixes.
