[Python-modules-team] Bug#639232: [python-enable] Linking issues with libX11.so

[Antonio Valentino]

Package: python-enable
Version: 4.0.0-1
Severity: normal

I have an application depending on python-enable that crashes at start
time raising the following exception:

"""
 File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/chaco/api.py", line 36, in 
    from abstract_plot_renderer import AbstractPlotRenderer
  File
 "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/chaco/abstract_plot_renderer.py",
 line 7, in from plot_component import PlotComponent File
 "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/chaco/plot_component.py", line 4, in
 from enable.api import Component File
 "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/enable/api.py", line 42, in from
 graphics_context import GraphicsContextEnable,
 ImageGraphicsContextEnable File
 "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/enable/graphics_context.py", line
 86, in class GraphicsContextEnable(EnableGCMixin, GraphicsContext):
 TypeError: Error when calling the metaclass bases metaclass conflict:
 the metaclass of a derived class must be a (non-strict) subclass of
 the metaclasses of all its bases
"""

The problem seems to be due to a linking issues with libX11.so see [1]
and [2].

A small patch is available in [2].
