Description Pacho Ramos 2011-01-27 18:53:00 UTC 
As reported downstream at:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=285722

And later confirmed by me, pygobject always needs python with threads support. I have tried to rebuild pygobject with "--disable-thread" configure option, but it fails with the same error:

$ python2
Python 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Jan 27 2011, 19:34:35) 
[GCC 4.4.4] on linux2

Thanks for your help

Well, considering that it's not possible anymore to have a glib/gobject without threads, I guess we should just say out loud we don't support not having threads enabled or something.
