Description Jose M. daLuz 2006-08-07 17:22:21 UTC 
Running Gnome 2.16b1 on Gentoo, I just updated pygtk from 2.9.3 to 2.9.5 and pygobject from 2.11.0 to 2.11.1. After this change, a number of python programs fail to start with the error "TypeError: path should be a GtkTreePath". Here's an example traceback from quodlibet:

Traceback (most recent call last):

+ Trace 70055

  • File "/usr/bin/quodlibet", line 309 in ? 
    main()
  • File "/usr/bin/quodlibet", line 36 in main 
    window = widgets.init(player, library)
  • File "/usr/share/quodlibet/widgets.py", line 82 in init 
    main = QuodLibetWindow(watcher, player)
  • File "/usr/share/quodlibet/qltk/quodlibet.py", line 203 in __init__ 
    self.select_browser(self, config.get("memory", "browser"), player)
  • File "/usr/share/quodlibet/qltk/quodlibet.py", line 474 in select_browser 
    self.browser = Browser(widgets.watcher, player)
  • File "/usr/share/quodlibet/browsers/paned.py", line 375 in __init__ 
    self.refresh_panes(restore=False)
  • File "/usr/share/quodlibet/browsers/paned.py", line 455 in refresh_panes 
    self.activate()
  • File "/usr/share/quodlibet/browsers/paned.py", line 424 in activate 
    self.__panes[0].fill(filter(self.__filter, library.values()))
  • File "/usr/share/quodlibet/browsers/paned.py", line 290 in fill 
    else: self.set_selected(None, jump=True)
  • File "/usr/share/quodlibet/browsers/paned.py", line 309 in set_selected 
    elif values is None and selection.path_is_selected((0,)): return
TypeError: path should be a GtkTreePath 

This also happens with pessulus (and a Gentoo utility called elogviewer). I did not check other programs after that. I downgraded my pygtk/pygobject to the prior versions which eliminated the error.

I don't know if this is a deliberate API change to reflect changes in gtk+ 2.10.x or accidental breakage.
