Can't reproduce.  Perhaps it has to do with this?:

try:
    # optional xmlrpclib accelerator.  for more information on this
    # component, contact info@pythonware.com
    import _xmlrpclib
    ...

That module doesn't exist on my box, but I bet it does on yours.  There are
no references to _PyGC_Insert anywhere in core 2.2a3.

Consistent with the guess above if that causes the import to raise an
exception.
