Do you still experience this problem? If so, then is it a problem only with epilicious or with all python extensions? I'm asking because in my case every attempt to run python extension effects in epiphany freezing for a moment and after that crashing. It appears that epiphany is able to register this plugin before the crash, because it is listed afterwards in its settings in gconf. Starting epiphany again with python plugin on the "to run" list causes browser to perish (miserably ;)) on start. I was unable to find any solution by now but I'm willing to investigate a little bit since I'm interrested badly in making some exts work for me.

To get python working completely fine you should remove the /opt/mozilla/lib/xulrunner/components/libpyloader.so file which belongs to the xulrunner package. Somehow python gets initialized twice and crashes miserably at the moment you add an extension. I haven't seen epiphany crashing forgood though.

Jan, can this be fixed somehow without user having to delete that file?
Is that file required by something else?

Epilicious is freezing epiphany when I try to synchronize bookmarks with my del.icio.us account. Sometimes it stops on message "Add new bookmarks .." and sometimes earlier. Other python related extensions works well in my case.

That is correct Jan! Many thanks for I've been searching for solution for a couple of days! You're the party saviour! :) Python extensions work like a charm once mentioned file was wiped out. I hope I didn't missed this advisory somewhere between bugs or on forum (I've looked here and there but you never know...) If indeed there's no previous mentions in these places maybe a separate bug should be filed then?

Once again---thanks a heap!

I can confirm that. Removing that file helped with epiplicious, and now everything works like it should.

It seems that my and Maciek's problems were related after all :). It's also interresting that magnitude of problem was so different (from complete crash to partial malfunction).
