Python packaging question

Sorta :)

So, I would like to try and get the latest version of straw in to
extras (the current version is about 4 behind and a new stable release
came out today).  The problem I have is that when checking for
dependencies, it does an import gtk.  Well, import gtk for some reason
actually tries to open the X Display.  As RPM unsets DISPLAY, it gets
an error.  Now, as a workaround, I have set my display and it works,
but I am guessing this will fail when there isn't actually an X
display, so this doesn't really work outside of a quick compile while
in X.  Anyone else seen this issue and if so, how did they work around
it?

Thanks!
