11.10: Using a Python Nautilus extension causes Nautilus to segfault

[Florian Diesch]

If I install a nautilus-python based extension for Nautilus in Oneiric and restart Nautilus it segfaults with the following error message

TypeError: metaclass conflict: the metaclass of a derived class must be a (non-strict) subclass of the metaclasses of all its bases
[2] 2991 segmentation fault nautilus

How to reproduce:
Install nautilus-python, create the folder ~/.local/share/nautilus-python/extensions/, copy /usr/share/doc/python-nautilus/examples/open-terminal.py to that folder, run 'nautilus --quit; nautilus'
