Bug Description

Binary package hint: oggconvert

When I type modules in Python's interactive help the command seems to fail because of a problem in oggconvert.

help> modules

Please wait a moment while I gather a list of all available modules...

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site.py", line 351, in __call__
    return pydoc.help(*args, **kwds)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/pydoc.py", line 1649, in __call__
    self.interact()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/pydoc.py", line 1667, in interact
    self.help(request)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/pydoc.py", line 1683, in help
    elif request == 'modules': self.listmodules()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/pydoc.py", line 1804, in listmodules
    ModuleScanner().run(callback)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/pydoc.py", line 1855, in run
    for importer, modname, ispkg in pkgutil.walk_packages():
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/pkgutil.py", line 110, in walk_packages
    __import__(name)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/OggConvert/__init__.py", line 22, in <module>
    pygst.require("0.10")
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pygst.py", line 52, in require
    raise RequiredVersionError, "pygst.require() must be called before importing gst"
pygst.RequiredVersionError: pygst.require() must be called before importing gst

I commented out the below two lines in /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pygst.py and the modules command then worked in the python shell.

if sys.modules.has_key('gst'):
    raise RequiredVersionError, "pygst.require() must be called before importing gst"

Well, I guess this is a lesson: don't initialise things in __init__.py!

I can't actually recreate this myself (help> modules has a problem with something else before it reaches OggConvert on my system), but I think I know what's going wrong and I'll fix it in the next version.
