[Bug 896836] Re: Segmentation fault when asking help() for the list of modules

[aleandro]

I started taskcoach in Ubuntu 18.04 beta and I got these errors:

Bug description:
  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").

  The error code returned is as follows:
  Please wait a moment while I gather a list of all available modules...

  /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gobject/constants.py:24: Warning: g_boxed_type_register_static: assertion `g_type_from_name (name) == 0' failed
