Hi,
I'm trying to build 2.0 under Arch Linux and get

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/birdie", line 8, in <module> from gi.repository import Gio, Gtk 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: _Py_ZeroStruct

when I try to run it. What am I doing wrong?

This will work around the problem:

sed -i 's|/usr/bin/env python|/usr/bin/python2|' /usr/bin/birdie
