Hello,
First of all, thank you for taking the time to experiment with the
Python bindings to GExiv2 that i wrote. I'm glad to see adoption is
increasing ;-)
The error message about __init__ taking 0 arguments clearly indicates
that the Python overrides have not been installed. Without the
overrides, you are accessing the raw C API directly. While GExiv2 can
technically function in this manner, the API is quite ugly and
non-pythonic, which is why I wrote the overrides: To add all that
beautiful syntactic sugar that Python programmers are accustomed to.
So, check that GExiv2.py is installed:
$ locate GExiv2.py
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/overrides/GExiv2.py
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/overrides/GExiv2.py
Most likely you don't have it. Whoever made the faulty package likely
overlooked it in the .install file for gir1.2-gexiv2-0.4. As you can see
here, Ubuntu provides this file correctly:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/amd64/gir1.2-gexiv2-0.4/filelist
If the experimental package can be updated to include GExiv2.py, then
everything should begin working as you expect.
