GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 168148
please do not process sys.argv on "import gst"

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.
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.
