[Bug 974807] Re: pydoc2.7 crashed with SIGSEGV in __find_specmb()

[Martin Pitt]

Oh, I see what's wrong in
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/100297867/ProcMaps.txt: It does seem to
actually import all the modules into a non-private namespace. With that
it loads e. g. gobject/glib/gtk several times, once through all the
static bindings (pygtk), and once again through the GI bindings. That's
impossible I'm afraid, and will lead to random crashes. That's not
something that really can be fixed in these individual libraries. So
either pydoc stops importing the modules and executing stuff in them, or
this is a case of "don't do that then".
