I will investigate this gi module. As for my import problem, it turned out that it was my own fault: following some recommendation on the web, I had added /usr/share/pyshared to the python path in ~/.profile and forgot to log out and in again after undoing this change. Everything works fine again, and I am ready to explore the new modules. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
