Gi import error

This is the command I am trying to run and its output:

$ python2
Python 2.7.8 (default, Sep 24 2014, 18:26:21) 
[GCC 4.9.1 20140903 (prerelease)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import gi
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gi/__init__.py", line 42, in <module>
    from . import _gi
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gi/_gi.so: undefined symbol: g_type_check_instance_is_fundamentally_a

      

I searched for this error but could not find anything that helped.

These are the packages I have installed:

$ pacman -Qs python

Don't know what I'm missing here.

Solved:

The error is due to an older version of the glib2 package.

It might not be a Python problem and a code problem. /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gi/_gi.so

may be damaged or poorly compiled. You may have entered the wrong path.



How to solve: update glib2
