[pygtk] Can't run PyGTK more than once from embedded Python

[Romain Behar]

I've finally found the bug: to run PyGTK scripts
properly, one has to create only one Python
interpreter and use it to launch all scripts. My
application was creating a new interpreter each time
it ran a new script.
The attached example showcases the bug (if it really
is). It runs a simple PyGTK script three times, the
first two with the same interpreter (which work
properly), the third script with a new interpreter
which outputs the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 3, in ?
  File
"/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py",
line 38, in ?
    import gdk # this is created by the _gtk import
ImportError: No module named gdk

 Cheers,

  Romain
