When using the automodule directive on a module that creates new Gobject
types (eg custom PyGTK widget), the implicit registration of the
imported types fail. (Normally any GObject subclass which has a
__gtype_name__ attribute is automatically registered as a new GType
using a metaclass.

I have had a dig around some of the code of gobject, and pygobject, but
not really any help to me.

http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/pygobject/trunk/gobject/gobjectmodule.c?revision=777&view=markup
http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/glib/trunk/gobject/gtype.c?revision=6454&view=markup

If anyone wants a quick look.

The directive I am using is:

.. automodule:: pygtkdock
    :members:



I have also attached the exception I am getting.

I have managed to reduce the bug to a tiuny test case. It seems that
this only happens when calling automodule directive on a package, with
code in __init__.py which registers a new GType. Moving the code to a a
regular module inside a package allows it to be imported normally.

I have attached the project directory, and there is a script "build.sh"
which just demonstrates how I run the builder to get the PYTHONPATH
correct to be able to improt the package.
