Rhythmbox segfaults with python 2.6.5-r2. I tried to downgrad python to 2.6.5-r1 and rhythmbox worked fine so I guess the problem comes from python. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge python 2.6.5-r2 2.launch rhythmbox 3. Actual Results: Rhythmbox doesn't start.

dev-lang/python-2.6.5-r2 contains some changes backported from 2.6 branch. These changes will be included in dev-lang/python-2.6.6. Behavior of given functions sometimes changes between micro releases of Python. The problem should be reported to media-sound/rhythmbox upstream.
Is it worth adding a python version requirement to the rhythmbox ebuilds until upstream releases a fix? So other users don't get the same problem?

Arfrever identified http://dev.gentoo.org/~Arfrever/python-2.6-r79204.patch as source of the trouble and I could reproduce the problem on dev-lang/python-2.6.5-r1.
I recompiled Python 2.6(.4) with python-2.6-r79204.patch on Ubuntu 9.10. Rhythmbox crash with a segfault. pygobject_init() fails with a Python exception >>could not import gobject (error was: AssertionError("required version '2.8' not found on system",))<<. pygobject_init() result is NULL and _PyGObject_API is still NULL. So the next function using _PyGObject_API (eg. rb_python_module_load_with_gil()) will crash. rb_plugins_engine_init() -> rb_python_module_init_python() -> pygobject_init(). If pygobject_init() fails, rb_python_module_init_python() prints a warning and exit. The caller is unable to detect the error and will continue to use Python...
The crash occurs because of the following patch. I don't know if it's a Python bug. Anyway, Rhythmbox should improve its code handling pygobject_init() error. Index: Python/import.c =================================================================== --- Python/import.c (revision 79203) +++ Python/import.c (revision 79204) @@ -2744,8 +2744,6 @@ } else { /* No globals -- use standard builtins, and fake globals */ - PyErr_Clear(); - builtins = PyImport_ImportModuleLevel("__builtin__", NULL, NULL, NULL, 0); if (builtins == NULL)
Ok, understood: Rhythmbox calls the Python function pygtk.require("2.8") which fails. A Python error is set (assertion error from pygtk.py about the version). But Rhythmbox doesn't check PyObject_CallObject() result (on success, it should also call Py_DECREF() on the result to avoid a reference leak). *Thanks to* python-2.6-r79204.patch, the import machinery of Python doesn't swallow errors anymore and so init_pygobject() fail because of the previous error and raise a new error. The bug comes from Rhytmbox bug and was detected thanks to recent patches in Python (backported by Arfrever to Python 2.6.5 in Gentoo). Rhytmbox have to check the result of PyObject_CallObject(): destroy the result on success (Py_DECREF), or display the error. rb_plugins_engine_init() should also fail if rb_python_module_init_python() fails instead of ignoring rb_python_module_init_python() error and crash later.
Dear gnome herd, please revbump rhythmbox. Upstream postponed the "investgation" upon Python 2.6.6 release. Thanks to Arfrever we already have the cleaner error handling of 2.6.6 in our python-2.6.5-r2. If this goes goes stable soon - as Arfrever said earlier - literally _all_ versions of rhythmbox will break. This erroneous behavior was just tolerated by erlier python.
