Description m][sko 2013-11-13 16:58:16 UTC 
I build latest gst-python 1.0_1.1.90 from debian pkg. repository with gstreamer 1.2.1
And I get this traceback when I want to use it in python 3.2

Traceback (most recent call last):

+ Trace 232760

    from gi.repository import GObject, Gst

code:

#!/usr/bin/python3.2

from os import path

import gi
gi.require_version('Gst', '1.0')
from gi.repository import GObject, Gst



All fine with binding for python 2.7

ubuntu 12.04 32bit
or
debian 7.0 (raspbian) on rpi

Works fine here with Python 3.3, but with 3.2 even "import gi" fails already for me:

Python 3.2.4 (default, May  8 2013, 20:55:18) 
[GCC 4.7.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import gi
Traceback (most recent call last):

  • File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/__init__.py", line 27 in <module>

I consider this a packaging bug or python-gi generally not being compatible with Python 3.2.
