 I have built Gramps. gtkspell2 was built before gnome-python-extras. When
 Gramps starts, it tries "import gtkspell", which fails.

 Since I am using gtkspell, the python binding should be automatically
 installed.

 The gnome-python-extras README file says:

 {{{
 When you run ./configure, the libraries available on the system
 (with respective header files) are automatically detected.  If one
 module was not enabled while you expected it to be, try looking at
 the file config.log; it may provide some useful clues as to why
 detection failed.
 }}}

 Clearly detection failed because of the order of building.

 I don't know whether this ticket should really be raised against Gramps or
 gtkspell instead, and I hesitate to even suggest possible approaches, but
 perhaps under MacPorts all the python modules in gnome-python-extras
 should be installed by default in case any are needed, or perhaps Gramps
 should be dependent on a variant of gnome-python-extras which itself is
 dependent on gtkspell2.

 Please note that similar problems are likely to arise for Gramps with
 other modules in gnome-python-extras, once webkit-gtk builds under
 MacPorts for me [http://trac.macports.org/ticket/23464].
