Summary:  Fatal Python error: Interpreter not initialized 

Initial Comment:
When running 'bzr status' on Ubuntu 5.10 with python
2.4.2, I came across the error:
Fatal Python error: Interpreter not initialized
(version mismatch?)
Aborted

The bzr code in question has a __del__ method which
when invoked (eventually) imports socket (which imports
_socket), causing everything to fall over in a heap.

A backtrace is available at http://pastebin.com/399461
