Comment 2 for bug 896836

From Googling around, this looks to me quite similar to the problem described here: http://blog.rabbitvcs.org/archives/312

The author points to the cause of a mixture of modules with both static and dynamic gtk bindings being active at the same time.

Because `help()` (and pydoc for that matter) iterate over all modules, actually importing them to get at the documentation, I believe that this causes a similar incompatible mixture of 'active' modules to occur.

Can anyone confirm that this is actually the case?
