Description Andy Wingo 2007-12-04 15:00:49 UTC 
gst.Element.pads() is bad API, for two reasons:

 1. It does not reflect upstream API, i.e. iterate_pads, iterate_sink_pads, etc
 2. It is a noun and not a verb. It sounds more like an attribute than a method.

It should be changed to get_pads() for consistency with the rest of the wrapper, and pads() left as a deprecated alias.
Comment 1 Tim-Philipp Müller 2012-07-06 16:44:43 UTC 
Let's WONTFIX this, since gst-python is not going to play a role in the bright new 1.0 zero future, and with pygi we get a more C-like API automatically, for better or worse.
