pystopwatch and lffi issue

Hail!
Pystopwatch today failed to start with the message:

$ pystopwatch 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/pystopwatch", line 27, in <module>
    import gtk
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 30, in <module>
    import gobject as _gobject
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gobject/__init__.py", line 47, in <module>
    from gobject.constants import *
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gobject/constants.py", line 24, in <module>
    import gobject._gobject
ImportError: libffi.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I rebuilt pygtk and pystopwatch, as a recommendation, but the program still won't start. I have no idea what else to do. Please, help.

Re: pystopwatch and lffi issue

What recommendation? pystopwatch seems to be pure python with nothing to rebuild. pygtk depends on python2-gobject2 which depends on libffi, so I would start with rebuilding python2-gobject2. The traceback shows the same dependency chain.

Re: pystopwatch and lffi issue

First I did some reading. In the forum I found very recent posts, in them was recommendation the pygtk rebuild.
