There is an error in the code for the python interface for all revisions of -0.11.11. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge /x11-libs/vte-0.11.11-r* 2.from a python shell or script: import vte 3. Actual Results: IDLE 1.0.3 >>> import vte Traceback (most recent call last): File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in -toplevel- import vte ImportError: dynamic module does not define init function (initvte) >>> I have found a change in the /python Makefile.in line 213: @BUILD_PYTHON_MODULES_TRUE@vtemodule_la_LDFLAGS = -module -avoid-version -export-symbols-regex=initvte In vte-0.11.10 that line is: @BUILD_PYTHON_MODULES_TRUE@vtemodule_la_LDFLAGS = -module -avoid-version -export-symbols-regex initvte It state that that file is auto generated from Makefile.am but I do not see any difference in it that would cause that change.
It looks like my search for this bug did not reveal bug #61683. I am emerging -r3 and hopefully find that it is fixed. I'll report back and/or close this bug if it is fixed.
I don't know what happened, but this bug somehow was duplicated from bug#81006. Please close this one as a duplicate. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 81006 ***
