Description Gonzalo Odiard 2012-12-21 14:24:33 UTC 
This is a continuation of #690003. 

After solve that ticket, and the related #690041 (in pygobject and gobject-introspecion), I continue crashing my simple python test case [1]

(More information in the sugar ticket [2])

Another related issue:

I have found the attributes parameter in the method vte_terminal_get_text should have (allow-none) (at least the code in vte_terminal_get_text_range_maybe_wrapped looks like support it). But if I add that, and try to do:

self.vte.get_text(None, None, None)

I get another segfault (worst, worked the first two times, and later segfaulted!)

bt show:

+ Trace 231310

Line #5 is interesting, is_selected=0, but "attributes" is not 0.

Right now, I think these are two different problems (or may be 3), and don't know if this is a pyobject or a vte issue. Any help is welcomed.

My test case was wrong, is working with the changes done in #676999
