Oleg, As far as I know, this fix can't be backported. I don't think it's possible to properly support GstMiniObject because it wasn't designed with introspection in mind (remember, the GStreamer 0.10 API is almost 7 years old now). I don't believe it's possible to fix this without breaking the 0.10 API. And this is just one of many issues that make it impossible to fully use GStreamer 0.10 from PyGI.
However, I imagine that GStreamer 1.0 will be made available through at least precise-backports. As it's parallel installable with GStreamer 0.10, it's quite safe to backport as it wont effect any existing 0.10 using applications. I think a case could be made for even backporting GStreamer 1.0 packages into Universe, but I don't know what the policy is there. Anyway, I agree it's a bummer that Python + Gtk3 + GStreamer isn't usable in Precise. But g-i and PyGI are big transitions, and these things just take time. If you want to start porting your app, there are GStreamer 1.0 packages in Quantal and there are packages for Precise in the GStreamer dev PPA (also in the Novacut stable PPA now): https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Novacut/GStreamer1.0 Cheers! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pygobject in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/873712 Title: Lack of GstMiniObject means Gst.Message is broken, can't get EOS signal Status in Novacut Video Editor: Won't Fix Status in Python bindings for GObject: Confirmed Status in “pygobject” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: It's almost possible to use GStreamer from PyGI. The hang up is that currently you can't get EOS signals from a pipeline, and that the message bus is overall broken. As far as I know, this is because pygobject doesn't grok the GstMiniObject type, which mean Gst.Message is an unknown type. There is an upstream bug with a patch (work in progress): https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=631901 I'm not sure if this would be too invasive a change to deliver to Oneiric users through a SRU, but this would help smooth the transition to PyGI (and possibly only shipping Python3 on the CD) for Precise as app devs could be working with PyGI and GStreamer right now on Oneiric. For what it's worth, this would really help Novacut. Either way, lets make sure PyGI + GStreamer rocks in Precise! (Side note: this also raises a question... GStreamer 0.10 or 1.0 in Precise?)
