Is it bug in Straw or Python?

[Jeremy Messenger]

Hello,

I am sure, some of you might remember that net/straw has hit on Python bug 
sometime ago. So, I am not sure if it's Straw or Python bug. The update 
version (0.23, not in ports tree yet) of Straw will complain:

=======================================
creating /var/tmp/straw/etc/gconf/schemas
copying data/straw.schemas -> /var/tmp/straw/etc/gconf/schemas
running install_gconf
error: Interrupted system call
*** Error code 1
=======================================

It complains with and without '-c -O1' in PYDISTUTILS_INSTALLARGS. So, I 
created a workaround for now like this:

=======================================
-      msg_sources      = translation_files(),
+      msg_sources      = ['glade/strings.c'] + glob.glob('src/lib/*.py'),
=======================================

It solves problem, since this is what has in the old version of Straw. 
Here's what translation_files() that was added looks like in setup.py:

=======================================
def translation_files():
     '''Files for translation...'''
     potfile = './po/POTFILES.in'

     if not os.path.exists(potfile):
         sys.exit("No such file, '%s'. Please file a bug report.." % 
potfile)

     f = open(potfile)
     files = []

     for line in f:
         # ignore comments and newline
         if line.startswith('#') or line.startswith('\n'):
             continue
         else: files.append(line.strip())

     f.close()
     return files
=======================================

Attaching setup.py here in case if anyone want the full of it.

P.S. CC me, I am not on this list. Thanks!

Cheers,
Mezz
