Description of problem: The python bindings breaks on FC3 + all updates applied. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): vte-0.11.14-3.fc3 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: $ python Python 2.3.4 (#1, Feb 2 2005, 12:11:53) [GCC 3.4.2 20041017 (Red Hat 3.4.2-6.fc3)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import vte Actual results: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/gtk-2.0/vtemodule.so: undefined symbol: pyg_set_object_has_new_constructor Expected results: The python binding to load. Additional info: Google suggests that vte is using an obsolete pygtk2 API, that has been removed some time ago.
Can you please report this to upstream bugzilla.gnome.org too, and post the link here?

Oracle, I highly suggest that you investigate into this issue if you rely on this feature for your product, as the newer upstream GNOME.org versions of vte seem to be broken with vte python bindings. This means it is currently broken for RHEL5, and any users using FC3, FC4, or FC5 with Oracle.

see: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=338090 I suggest emulating the debian solution if possible, ie. rm python/vte.c and rebuild.
Hi, this seems to be fixed with vte-0.11.16 and pygtk 2.8
