I think that I've seen this before. If I recall correctly, it is due to a
mismatch between the SWIG runtime library and the version of Python that is
being used. For example, the runtime might have been built for Python 1.5,
but you've built the wrapper module for Python 2.x and are running the whole
mess under a 2.x interpreter.

The answer is to check your SWIG configuration to ensure that the runtime
library is built for the same version of Python that you intend to use with
the wrapper extension modules.

Check the swig packages, too. Debian might have to add dependencies between
the SWIG package and specific versions of Python. Possibly different SWIG
runtimes based on which Python needs to use it.

Of course, I could be misremembering the PyType_IsSubType problem. But take
a look and see what you find...
