Description fpemud 2013-03-29 14:32:42 UTC 
I want to use gtk_get_option_group(), but there's no Gtk.get_option_group() in python.

I see in Gtk-3.0.gir:
    <function name="get_option_group"
              c:identifier="gtk_get_option_group"
              version="2.6"
              introspectable="0">

So it is un-introspectable.

I want to solve it. Can you give me any hint on why it is un-introspectable and what to do?

I downloaded gtk source code, and in gtkmain.c:

/**
 * gtk_get_option_group: (skip)
 * @open_default_display: whether to open the default display
 *     when parsing the commandline arguments
 *

I think it is the "(skip)" caused this problem.
I searched and found it is added by this commit https://mail.gnome.org/archives/commits-list/2011-January/msg04805.html
But there's no detailed description.

Is this function deprecated?

Hi,

It is always unfortunate when code changes are made without at least a link to relevant information about the reasoning. I was able to find the following with a google search for "gtk_get_option_group introspection":

https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2010-September/msg00018.html

So it sounds like GOptionGroup needs to be registered as a boxed type for this to work anyhow. Your best bet would be to ask on the gtk-devel-list mailing list to see if there is an alternative for what you are trying to accomplish (https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list).
