Please provide any additional information below.
I shortened the ImportError traceback print this way:

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> line 13480ff before >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    #
    # rpdb2 avoids stepping through this 
    # function (rpdb2_import_wrapper) to
    # prevent confusion when stepping into
    # an import statement.
    #
    m = g_import(*args, **kwargs)

    if name != 'gtk':
        return m

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> line 13480ff after >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    try:

    except:

        if tb.tb_next:
