Description David Riebenbauer 2005-02-22 13:03:33 UTC 
Distribution/Version: Debian unstable - i386

The python bindings for gstreamer currently process sys.argv as soon as they are 
imported. I think this behaviour is unexpected by most users, and should be 
changed.
Comment 1 Johan (not receiving bugmail) Dahlin 2005-02-22 13:18:30 UTC 
Python bindings isn't doing anything, it just calls gst_init.

What I think that you want is to have proper GOption support in GStreamer and in
gst-python so you can add your own command line arguments.

But not processing sys.argv is not something we can't do today.
