Public bug reported:

- Install Python-Nautilus in Ubuntu 11.10 (beta2 in my case)

- Create the TestExtension.py [0] from the nautilus-python Reference
Manual and put it in the ~/.local/share/nautilus-python/extensions
folder (as per the RM's instructions)

- Restart Nautilus: `killall nautilus` and `nautilus --no-desktop`.

The following Exceptions will apprear in your terminal, and no Nautilus
extension will appear:

emilien@ubuntu1110b2:~$ nautilus --no-desktop
** (nautilus:6258): DEBUG: Syncdaemon not running, waiting for it to start in

    from ._gi import _API, Repository
ImportError: could not import gobject (error was: ImportError('When using 
gi.repository you must not import static modules like "gobject". Please change 
all occurrences of "import gobject" to "from gi.repository import GObject".',))

    from ._gi import _API, Repository
ImportError: cannot import name _API

It is thus not possible to create a Nautilus extension using Python
starting with Ubuntu 11.10. I came to this conclusion while trying to
fix Bug #849361. Please give directions on how to build such an
extension from Python, using Nautilus-Python 1.0.
