Comment 6 for bug 896836

This is regarding bug #896836: "Using Python 2.7.2 on Oneiric (package version is 2.7.2-7ubuntu2), I'm getting a consistent segmentation fault when I open the interactive help in a Python shell (i.e. typing "help()" in the shell) and then ask for the list of modules (by typing "modules")."

A somewhat verbose trace seems to indicate that the culprit is "atk.so" i.e.:
===========
import gtk # directory /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk
# /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.pyc matches /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py
import gtk # precompiled from /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.pyc
dlopen("/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/_gtk.so", 2);
dlopen("/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gtk-2.0/pango.so", 2);
import pango # dynamically loaded from /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gtk-2.0/pango.so
dlopen("/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gtk-2.0/atk.so", 2);
import atk # dynamically loaded from /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gtk-2.0/atk.so
Segmentation fault
