[issue38634] Symbol resolution conflict when embeding python in an application using libedit

[Colin Watson]

Colin Watson <cjwatson at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

Here's a reasonably minimal reproduction recipe reduced from real code in the Launchpad test suite that doesn't require compiling a separate C extension.  It fails on Ubuntu 18.04 with the gir1.2-gtk-3.0, python3-gi, and xvfb packages installed.  (The xvfb-run part is just so that it works on a headless system; you can omit it if you have a working $DISPLAY.)

  xvfb-run python3 -c 'from gi.repository import Gtk; import readline'
