While using Python help I typed modules and got the following error:

help>   modules

Please wait a moment while I gather a list of all available modules...

/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gobject/constants.py:24: Warning: g_boxed_type_register_static: assertion `g_type_from_name (name) == 0' failed

How can I fix or get around this issue and get the help I want?

回答1:

Such "lists of modules" (pydoc -k too) require importing everything available into one process and this may cause all kinds of problems. Don't do that.
