Edit: I have tried importing almost every library represented in /usr/lib/girepository-1.0 through gi.repository and they all work except Gtk and Gdk. I have updated the title to reflect this.
I need a self-built PyGObject library to go with my self-built Python 3.3.3. I installed all the dependencies for PyGObject using sudo apt-get build-dep python3-gi. I found that the working system PyGObject version was 3.2.2, so I checked out version 3.2.2 of the source from the Git repo. I ran:
autoreconf --force --install ./configure --prefix=/home/tomas/.pyenv/versions/3.3.3 make make install
Everything compiled and installed beautifully. I opened a fresh CMD and set the working directory to ~, then:
~$ python Python 3.3.3 (default, Dec 21 2013, 23:12:28) [GCC 4.6.3] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> from gi.repository import Gtk Segmentation fault (core dumped) ~$
I have set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /home/tomas/.pyenv/versions/3.3.3/lib and checked that the correct library is being loaded:

I also imported the module with python -vv: Pastebin
The last few lines reveals that the core dump happens right after importing gi.repository.Atk:

Importing just gi.repository.Atk doesn't segfault.
I have also tried removing the system version of the library (sudo dpkg -P python3-gi) in case it was interfering in some way.
I don't know what else to do. Does anybody know or have any idea what the problem might be? Please leave a comment if you have an idea of something I could try or if I can provide more information.
