retitle 860986 python-iptables: import raises AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'throw_exception'
thanks


I think the problem is actually deeper. Even after I "fix" the custom
library loading code with something like:

    --- a/iptc/util.py
    +++ b/iptc/util.py
    @@ -78,7 +78,8 @@ def _find_library(*names):
         if version_info > (3, ):
             ext = get_config_var("EXT_SUFFIX")
         else:
    -        ext = get_config_var('SO')
    +        import imp
    +        ext = [x for x, y, z in imp.get_suffixes() if z == imp.C_EXTENSION][0]
         for name in names:
             libnames = [name, "lib" + name, name + ext, "lib" + name + ext]
             libdir = os.environ.get('IPTABLES_LIBDIR', None)

… then I end up with:

 Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/iptc/__init__.py", line 10, in <module>
