Description Andy Wingo 2005-08-09 12:15:49 UTC 
import gst
gst.element_factory_make('ffmpegcolorspace')

returns the correct thing, but while doing so, tries to define the
GstFFMpegColorspace name in the __main__ module from sys.modules. Which is a
broken behavior, but hey, it's enshrined in history so that can't be changed.
The problem is that for ipython,

In [6]:sys.modules['__main__']
Out[6]:<IPython.FakeModule instance>

So that when it tries to define the class in __main__, it prints:

<ERROR: ../Objects/moduleobject.c:48: bad argument to internal function>

Because sys.modules['__main__'] isn't really a module.

Attached patch will work around this issue.

jdahlin suggested using PyObject_SetItem. I tried it and it doesn't work for the
normal case or for the ipython case. Suggest that this patch be applied. This
behavior of pygtk is *extremely* crack anyway.
