Description Alexandre Rostovtsev 2011-12-26 06:15:53 UTC 
Attempting to run test_bytearray_gvariant under python3 results in a failure:

======================================================================
ERROR: test_bytearray_gvariant (test_gi.TestArray)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):

+ Trace 229337

  • File "/var/tmp/portage/dev-python/pygobject-3.0.3/work/pygobject-3.0.3-3.2/tests/test_gi.py", line 774 in test_bytearray_gvariant 
    v = GLib.Variant.new_bytestring("foo")
  • File "../gi/types.py", line 72 in constructor 
    return info.invoke(cls, *args, **kwargs)
TypeError: Item 0: Must be number or single byte string, not str 

This is because python3 does not allow mixing strings with byte arrays; under python3, GLib.Variant.new_bytestring() expects bytes, not a string.
