Description Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2008-09-21 14:36:09 UTC 
Hi,
the attached patch fixes the loading of gst-python in some cases by first importing libxml2 and then the gst stuff. See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=449341 for an example where this happens.

Can this be conditinal, so that its only done when libxml2 is actualy used?

        * gst/__init__.py:
        Import modules in the correct order, i.e. libxml2 before
        GStreamer stuff, to prevent unresolved symbols. Fixes bug #553131.

Unfortunately this is insufficient for Cygwin or MinGW, where all symbols must be resolved at *link* time.

Perhaps the code can be reworked to not call the wrapper function directly, but I've been working around this by copying the wrapper function from libxml2 into pygst; patch attached.
