I don't have py-gnome but I just tried :

Bilbo:~ yves$ python
Python 2.4.3 (#1, Sep 29 2006, 07:22:43)
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5363)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> import gtk

(.:845): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
         Using the fallback 'C' locale.
/opt/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py:69:  
GtkWarning: could not open display
   warnings.warn(str(e), _gtk.Warning)
 >>>

So i tried in an xterm :

Bilbo:~/Documents/budget yves$ python
Python 2.4.3 (#1, Sep 29 2006, 07:22:43)
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5363)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> import gtk

(.:861): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
         Using the fallback C locale.
 >>>

and that's all.  No crash.  But could the problem be solved by  
compiling in an xterm instead of a regular Terminal.app ?
