I'm using python 2.7 along with webkit-gtk2-1.2.7 and there are no
poblems during webkit build and/or use. From your description it seems
to me more like your gobject-introspection-0.9.12_1 didn't get properly
rebuilt after Python upgrade.

Btw, as upgrading Python has always been a non-trivial task (I don't use
upgrade-site-packages so I can't comment on that step - I found it flaky
once and didn't bother anymore after), I always make sure to rebuild
every Python based port during the next step before anything else (same
goes with major Perl upgrades). There are not many of them directly
depending on Python and it always saves from trouble like these.
