python-clutter or python-cluster?  We don't have python-clutter
in our repo, but maybe it's something you're working on outside
of SBo for the time being.  It doesn't really matter in the 
context of the problem report, but I'm just curious... :-)

Well, I wouldn't expect something in /usr/share to need executable
bit set, but apparently python-clu(s|t)ter does.  That file is not
executable in pygobject-2.18.x either, so I suspect one of these
two situations is accurate:

  1. It's a bug in pygobject that other upstream projects have
     worked around by calling the python script differently.

  2. It's a bug in python-clu(s|t)ter with expecting something that
     can't reasonably be expected.

Finding out which one is likely to be fun, and quite frankly, I'd
start with the python-clu(s|t)ter devs to see what they think.
