Change I tried to import almost every library provided in /usr/lib/girepository-1.0 via gi.repository and all of them work except for Gtk and Gdk. I updated the name to reflect this.
I need the PyGObject built-in library for my built-in Python 3.3.3. I installed all the dependencies for PyGObject using sudo apt-get build-dep python3-gi . I found that the PyGObject version of the working system was 3.2.2, so I checked the source version 3.2.2 from the Git repository. I ran:
autoreconf --force --install
./configure --prefix = / home / tomas / .pyenv / versions / 3.3.3
make
make install
Everything is compiled and installed beautifully. I opened a new CMD and set the working directory ~ , and then:
~ $ python
Python 3.3.3 (default, Dec 21 2013, 23:12:28)
[GCC 4.6.3] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from gi.repository import Gtk
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
~ $
I set LD_LIBRARY_PATH in /home/tomas/.pyenv/versions/3.3.3/lib and found that the correct library is loading:
~ $ ldd .pyenv / versions / 3.3.3 / lib / python3.3 / site-packages / gi / _gi.so

Importing only gi.repository.Atk not segfault.
I also tried uninstalling the system version of the library ( sudo dpkg -P python3-gi ) if it somehow interferes.
I do not know what else to do. Does anyone know or have an idea of what might be the problem? Please leave a comment if you have an idea about something that I could try, or if I can provide more information.
