I hate this solution because it is has utterly confusing semantics and has generated about 50% of the list traffic for the last 4 months or so. My only comfort is the fact that most distributions will have this fixed in one way or another in the future.

There is no need to reinstall Python, and all PyGTK apps will now find pygtk correctly. One thing that many ignore is that the default prefix of /usr/local *MAY NOT BE CORRECT* for your system. If your Python is installed by default to /usr, it definitely isn't - you *must use* --prefix=/usr instead. Just because it's default, in this case, doesn't mean it's correct. Unfortunately.
