Bug Description
Attempting to run help("modules") in python-2.7.3 causes a crash and core dump.
$ python
Python 2.7.3 (default, Apr 20 2012, 22:39:59)
[GCC 4.6.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> help('modules')
Please wait a moment while I gather a list of all available modules...
/usr/lib/
import gobject._gobject
/usr/lib/
from gtk import _gtk
** (python:6456): CRITICAL **: pyg_register_boxed: assertion `boxed_type != 0' failed
/usr/lib/
from gtk import _gtk
/usr/lib/
from gtk import _gtk
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
As I suspect this is related to the combination of packages installed, I will attach a file containing that list.
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Release: 12.04
