Can't open Nautilus in F16 x86_64

[joe.pelayo]

Hello everybody.

At first it was an occasional glitch in F16, now it happens always: I can't open Nautilus no matter what.

Here is the error message given by the terminal:

[joe@tizoc ~]$ nautilus
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/gi/__init__.py", line 23, in <module>
    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".',))

Anyone else? Is there any solution to this? Last night I disabled SELinux for a while (rebooted the machine of course) and it didn't help.

I also realize it has something to do with Python but have no idea how to fix it.

EDIT: According to this bug report it only happens to the 64 bit version, it also suggests to fix the problem by removing "nautilus-terminal". After removing the aforementioned nautilus extension the problem "went away", but it is just a workaround (at least for those who need nautilus-terminal).

Thanks,
Joe.

Seeing the same thing here. Fresh install of F16 64 bit, fully updated.

After removing the recently installed nautilus-terminal, things are fine again.

Shoot, I wish I would have read your entire post, you found the answer to the problem!
