Bug#708872: ImportError: could not import gobject

[Jérémy Lal]

Package: python-gi
Version: 3.8.2-1
Severity: important

This error happened when launching gnome-mousetrap. But it really looked like a
python-gi bug, so here it is :

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/mousetrap/app/main.py", line 50, in <module>
    from lib import httpd, dbusd, settings

    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".',))
