Public bug reported:

In a python terminal I do the following:

>>> import pynotify;
>>> from gi.repository import Gdk
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/__init__.py", line 27, in <module>
    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".',))
>>> 

Or in the reverse:

>>> from gi.repository import Gdk
>>> import pynotify
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gobject/constants.py:24: Warning: 
g_boxed_type_register_static: assertion 'g_type_from_name (name) == 0' failed
  import gobject._gobject
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py:40: Warning: cannot 
register existing type 'GdkWindow'
  from gtk import _gtk
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py:40: Warning: 
g_type_get_qdata: assertion 'node != NULL' failed
  from gtk import _gtk
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I'm not sure what other details may be helpful but I'm happy to produce
and provide anything that may be of further assistance.
