Description Jeffrey Barish 2009-07-03 23:37:06 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
To make gst-python-0.10.15, download, make, and install the following packages:
glib-2.21.2, gst-python-0.10.15, pygobject-2.18.0, gst-plugins-base-0.10.23, gstreamer-0.10.23, and pygtk-2.14.1.  The make of gst-python-0.10.15 produces many warnings along the lines of

Could not write method GstStructure.get_uint: No ArgType for 'guint*'
Could not write virtual accessor method GstIndex.get_assoc_entry: No ArgType for 'GCompareDataFunc'
Could not write virtual accessor method GstClock.wait: No ArgType for 'GstClockEntry*'
...

The coverage values are all less than 100% except for interface proxies.

The make will complete.  Run python and import gst.  You will get the message
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Element'
As Element is the base class for all elements, its absence is a serious problem.



Steps to reproduce:
1. 
2. 
3. 

See above.


Actual results:
See above.

Expected results:
import gst should not produce an error message.

Does this happen every time?
Yes.

Comment 1 Jeffrey Barish 2009-07-06 04:47:42 UTC 
I built GStreamer on Kubuntu to have a base unadulterated by anything to do with GTK.  I downloaded tar packages gst-python-0.10.15, gstreamer-0.10.23, gst-plugins-base-0.10.23, pygtk-2.14.1, and pygobject-2.18.0.  I installed the deb packages pkg-config, gettext, liboil0.3, and liboil0.3-dev.  I set LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib.  I ran ./configure, make, sudo make install on the 6 directories created by the tar packages.  All makes completed successfully (though not without comments).  I ran python.  I ran import gst.  I got the message "'module' object has no attribute 'Element'".
Comment 2 Edward Hervey 2009-07-06 08:43:25 UTC 
* You don't need pygtk
* You can make gst-python
* The coverage warnings are not fatal (they're just an indication for the maintainers)
* That error message is non-fatal

So basically the only issue is to remove that error message.
Comment 3 Jeffrey Barish 2009-07-06 23:52:14 UTC 
I thought that the error message might provide an explanation for the actual problem that I am observing: The volume parameter has no effect with playbin2.  If the error message is itself erroneous, then it would appear that there is a separate bug.  Should I file a separate report?
Comment 4 Tim-Philipp Müller 2011-09-26 16:34:43 UTC 
Jeffrey: is this still an issue with current versions of gst-python?
Comment 5 Akhil Laddha 2011-11-10 04:56:01 UTC 
Please feel free to reopen this bug if the problem still occurs with a newer
version of gst-python.
