I will investigate this gi module. As for my import problem, it turned out =
that it was my own fault: following some recommendation on the web, I had a=
dded /usr/share/pyshared to the python path in ~/.profile and forgot to log=
 out and in again after undoing this change. Everything works fine again, a=
nd I am ready to explore the new modules.
